hallelujah

If the RV park isn nearby a church on Sunday, I go.   Today in Savannah by Red Gate Campground, I went to The Seed Church and it was an uplifting worship and praise group reflective of the Savannah population (55% black, 38% white,7% other)/  They were so friendly and so full of the spirit.  I like the big screens, the people feeling free to go down in front and groove with the the worship team like a rock concert.  This was young and old, black and white alike,.  I wonder if our new pastor from GA would like to liven up our ritual service.

The pastor reminded me of Rita Barthel, from her looks, clothes, passion and language - "Hello!  Are you out there?"  Her message was preaching, teaching and healing. We are here for the preaching but need the teaching (get educated in the Word to share the message) and then healing. The Bible verses of her message are on the big screen like Joyce Meyers.  Lots of chiming in on the sermon, hallelujah.  Got lots of hugs as we greet each other during the service.   She asked if there were any from Nigeria?  Several hands rose.  1000 Christians killed this week in Nigeria according to Christianity Today  Prayer meeting Tuesday.

In Panama City Beach, it also was was a nondenominational church, The Lighthouse Church by the Emerald Coast RV park.  A friendly retired gentleman I sat by introduced me to the pastor and many other church members, most with nametags.  High energy, young people, folks from the mission were brought by bus, all ages (kids in sunday school), it was full.  The pastor in jeans and a T-shirt, shared that the church was for all, we are all sinners but saved by grace.  He gets so mad when the spring breakers come, and Christians protest "repent or you go to hell" down on the beach. That's not God's message. Jesus sat down with the tax collectors and the poor.
