Last night we had the first combined service of our anglo and latino churches. There was such a wonderful spirit present as we met in the Latino church hall, learned a little Spanish, worshipped in English and Spanish, heard a message in both languages and shared communion together. There were people from Honduras, Ecuador, Chile, Argentina, Mexico, Puerto Rico, the U.S - and even a couple from New Zealand!
There was a great turnout from both churches and we came together as one in Christ. We bridged the language and culture barriers and reached out to people different from ourselves in an atmosphere of love and acceptance.
You couldn't help but feel that this was not only a foretaste of heaven but also a glimpse of the unifying power of the Son of God, who can bring disparate people together and make them one. It makes me want to work to see His Kingdom established here, in this earth, now.
Let's be about the Father's business.
