On Saturday morning, we held a leaders’ breakfast at North Rand. We met expressly to discuss the dreams formulated at the leaders' retreat in January.
With some sense of anticipation, I began to prepare the sessions on electronic format. Included were a time of worship, an inspirational video, Scripture reading and a time of reflection. Even though I say so myself, I was quite prepared and quietly excited.
Saturday dawned softly and checking my cell phone I discovered a message from Ron that the church had no electricity. My first thoughts were for Vanessa, who was preparing breakfast and then for all the hard work with the electronic presentations. This was going to be a disaster, I thought.
On arriving at the church, to my amazement, Ron and Norma were calmly boiling water and had set up skottels to cook the eggs etc. Awhile later, the leaders arrived and amazingly each calmly focused immediately on the job at hand of making things work.
What a blessing!
As we sat down to our HOT breakfast, there was a real sense of oneness and fellowship around the table. Our discussions later continued much in the same way.
Excitement for me is to be involved with deeply committed Christians who understand God’s call and despite the obstacles placed in their way, still give of themselves in service.
North Rand is blessed to have such committed leaders!
Excitement is knowing that I belong to a motivated, inspirational church family that is going to fulfil God’s plan and purpose.
