So Much To Be Thankful For

Last night I attended a meeting of the Nominating Committee.  It was a long meeting with much accomplished.  On Monday I attended a Deacons Meeting.  I recently attended a Trustees Meeting.  We just had a wonderful Koinonia Kostume party.  There was a wonderful Ladies retreat.  Men's breakfast is going well.  One of the things that we often hear if we are involved in churches is the lament about people who aren't involved.  Now to be sure, every church including ours needs more people than are helping and every church has those who don't do much or anything.  But I will say this.  I am constantly humbled and overjoyed by all the people who ARE involved here at BCBC.  We have such an incredible group of people who take being part of the church seriously and serve with dedication and joy.  I am so thankful for all those who labor so hard to see the Work of the Lord accomplished.  There are people who do things that no one even knows about and there are so many faithful servants behind the scenes doing great work.

I watched people step forward to help make the Koinonia Kostume night go well.  I watched people step forward to man the registration table for our directory pictures.  There are individuals who have been working at doing at BCBC longer than I have been alive!   All this is a source of great joy.  We will continue to work on broadening our base of servants and as we share the work, more will be done easier, but we have so much to be thankful for with so many that are willing to try.  This is of great encouragement to me and I am so thankful for all those who labor for the cause of Christ at Bean's Corner!
