A Part of the Body

Have you read Knucklehead's blog? (headknuckle.blogspot.com) I guess he felt compelled to write about the Wednesday Night Group. Rudy Baga's comment on the post reads, "Wow! 25 years!! That is something. Must be doing something right. Sounds like the Body of Christ to me."

Yes, it's been over twenty-five years. It's hard to believe. Who would have thought that it would have lasted this long. Just for the record, ever since I've been a part of the group, we have met all year round! We don't take summers off.

Vivian is an original member. She still visits once in a while. Of the current members, Virginia has been a part of the group the longest. They have witnessed a lot of changes.

At one time, the group had to be divided because it was too big. That was back when John, Stephanie, and Joe G. were leading the group. We were a prayer group then a Bible study and now a fellowship group. A lot of folks have kept the fire burning.

Although more than five different churches are represented in the group, we are able to fellowship together. It's not about churches or denominations, it's about iron sharpening iron. It's about fighting the good fight. It's about encouraging one another.

I am thankful for those who still attend on a regular basis. I appreciate your encouragement and prayer support. I am thankful for the past leaders. I am especially thankful to the Lord. I am encouraged by his faithfulness. I hope you are encouraged too.
