Unfortunately, we were too busy to take photos, but if anyone wants to know what Christian love and fellowship looks like, we were surrounded by it this evening. Last weekend, our son’s friends moved back home to Sinclairville in two 20 foot moving vans, one of which was filled with shop equipment—heavy stuff like an 800 lb milling machine, a metal lathe, industrial table saw, compressor, drill press, etc., the other with household items. It was a LOT of stuff!
Yesterday they put out a call to their friends at Park church, and tonight, nearly twenty young men and women showed up to muscle machinery and furniture through the snow and cold into a barn and a storage bin. These young adults don’t just attend church; they cut and split firewood to give to needy people, they come together to help a friend needing moving muscle, they give generously and love extravagantly. I was privileged to be their pastor for a good many years before I retired, and now get to see their faith in action. The Bible says, “faith without works is dead.” Tonight, with a grateful heart, I saw faith very much alive.
