FROM THE STUDY

of

Donegal

Presbyterian Church

Starting on Sunday, May 17, I am going to attempt the impossible:  TRY AND KEEP WORSHIP ATTENDANCE FROM DROPPING!  How will I do this?  Here are some possibilities: 

 

·        Go on a hunger strike.

·        Hand out free gift cards to Giant.

·        Invite some of the “Top Ten” preachers in the United States.

·        Have the Hospitality Committee prepare a brunch after each service of worship. 

 

            On second thought, this might not work because the one thing that will make the “impossible” happen, is YOU!  I’ll do my best to come up with a special sermon series, one that will encourage you to bring a friend or two to our services of worship!  For example, have you ever thought that “I’m not a very good Christian”?  Do you feel like:

 

·        I don’t pray enough.

·        I don’t read my Bible enough.

·        I don’t share my faith enough.

·        I don’t love God enough.

·        I’m not committed enough.

·        I’m not spiritual enough.

 

If so, then this series is for you and your friends.  Let’s see if we can do the “possible” together and with God’s help!

 Peace,

TOM
