What an AWESOME blessing....

Today was a GREAT day at Community of Joy! We had a good amount of energy for our second worship gathering and for our Annual Congregational Forum... our only business meeting for the year. We were just transitioning from the Forum to the meal... when a young man walked in the door and approached Louise Mahan handing her an envelope and asking her to give it to someone in administration. She came to give me the envelope which had nothing written on the front. I opened it and inside was a check written to Community of Joy building fund for $1,200.

What a touching gesture! I quickly announced to the congregation, that you never know what blessings are ahead when you say yes to God... and told them about the gift! Totally Awesome!! At that moment, Joy led us in singing the doxology... "Praise God from whom all blessings flow...!"

Indeed praise God from whom all blessings flow and thank you, to the giver for allowing God to use you to bless others!
