Dear Pastor King,
During this morning's service, you asked why we come to church and said we could write you a response. I feel driven to do so. First, allow me to say that I have never felt so welcome as I do at The Land of Promise. I have spent years searching for my little niche and I think I have found it. There is an energy...a positive energy....that fills me with such happiness when I walk through those doors. I have been to Land of Promise twice now and I cannot wait until next Sunday.
With that said, I'd have to say that fellowship plays a large part in my attendance at Land of Promise. It feels like a great big party celebrating His Word and I don't feel like I am among strangers. The love is strong within the walls of your church and I feel so light on my feet....with all the burdens of the week lifted, as a result. I guess that is another reason, to release the stress of the week and give it to Him, knowing that I am not alone.
I've always had daily conversations with God and feel that you don't have to be within the walls of a church to have that connection, otherwise I'd never leave the building. :) There is just something about Land of Promise that calls to me and I think I received a sign this morning as I left. One of the members gave me a great big hug and said, "You belong here. " Wow! That spoke volumes and gave me such a feeling of peace.
God bless you and everyone at the Land of Promise,
HEATHER |
