Change the Atmosphere Wherever You Go

Romans 15:13

 I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.

What a powerful promise.  I have been reflecting this week on the fact that because the Holy Spirit fills me as a believer in Christ then everywhere I go brings the Spirit of God into that place.  It doesn't matter whether or not that place is a church worship service or a gas station.  That is exactly what happened Sunday evening when we went to Lovingston to bless our community.  Because, we were there and filled with the Holy Spirit, the atmosphere of the grassy area besides Blossom's Florist was changed.  I could sense it and I believe our guests could sense it as they came are were blessed.

This Sunday afternoon we will get the same opportunity.  Due to the fact that about 90% of our families are involved in the Rec. Dept. Youth soccer tournament Sunday afternoon, we will have our gathering at the soccer field to cheer on the Riverbank kids.  We won't meet at the Shipman Legion Hall.  And, remember that as you are there the Holy Spirit filling you is changing the atmosphere around you.  Be a blessing, reach out, share a word of encouragement, and invite someone into relationship with God's people.

Take Care,

Pastor Brian
