Body of Christ

The church sometimes gets a bad rap these days.  People complaining about hypocrites, always asking for money, blah, blah, blah. 

But I would like those complainers to have been present over the last week in Hesston, KS.  I am proud to be on staff at Hesston MB as our church body has stepped up in a big way during the recent tragedy that took the life of Garrett Spencer.  I have seen God use people to comfort, pray for, provide food, set up the church, put away tables and chairs, send cards/emails, make phone calls, provide music, do dishes, vacuum, clean windows--to name a few.  What a good testimony to what Pastor Brad has been preaching over this past month regarding transparent relationships. 

I know you don't want to take credit for it, but thank you!  To God Be the Glory!
