A Unique Day!
Some Pastors had invited me to minister in their congregations. So at the early service
of the "Knox Community Church" I enjoyed the Honor of contributing a twenty minute
"Sermon in Song". Then at the mid-morning service of the "North Prairie Free Lutheran
Church", was given the opportunity to do the same. Finally at the late morning service of
the "LeBanon Lutheran Church", a third Honor to contribute to the worship.
Drove to Minot, North Dakota and spent a few hours at the Zoo. Said a prayer asking the
Lord to move the Lion to Roar. And Praise God the beast did. Several times. Neat!
Attended evening worship services at the "Lighthouse Church" where it happened to be
their monthly "Sharing" service. Thanks to email they knew I was coming and gave me
the Honor of contributing another "Sermon in Song".
What a Day of opportunities to serve the Lord. Thank You Jesus!
And So Begins Another Week.
May The Lord Our God
Guard, Guide And Direct You.
In The Name Of Jesus. Amen!
Yours In Christ, Larry
