Over what we now realize was a short period of time, it grew to be in two places of our church. Today the congregation sacrifices the fellowship hall for the sake of the community...but not for our own gain or without some pain...because ultimately we chose obedience to heed God's call.<br /><br />I am so blessed by this post, encouraged by the comments, and reminded of our humble beginnings. Thanks to you all.<br /><br />Yesterday we met with others in the city to find out that we will likely become the primary clothing source for the less fortunate in our community. God has blessed us with this opportunity to serve Him and I highly recommend we all heed His call! As assistant pastor of the church, I invite you ALL to visit if in the area, or check out our sermons on line: www.BakerStreetcc.org.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03758630438160788708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236583324720329.post-19069157346091482032011-04-12T14:38:08.606-05:002011-04-12T14:38:08.606-05:00Matthew Chapter 6, Verse 26, if we're not mist...Matthew Chapter 6, Verse 26, if we're not mistaken - "Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
