A Special Thank-You

Last night at our church, we were reminded afresh what a truly awesome God we serve, and I just wanted to thank him for the gift of some wonderfully talented musicians!

If you're familiar with our church in Heidelberg, then you know we have incredible turn over in our membership. Most of our membership is transient, and thus they are only with us for a few years at most. This creates interesting challenges. Some of the most faith-stretching challenges have come when musicians have transitioned away from our church family.

God has always been faithful to provide us musicians, and we have never been without faithful musicians willing to serve.

Recently, God has given our church two young, German musicians that have truly been a blessing to our congregation. I am so grateful to Him for this expression of His goodness.

These two men are Gernot and Michael, two wonderfully gifted musicians. They are providing a great foundation on which to build a God-honoring music ministry.

Last night they blessed our church with a concert that was truly God-exalting. It was a special night, and a highlight of the time I have been at GIBC. It is a joy to serve alongside men who love the Lord and who are faithfully serving Him with the gifts He has given them. What a tremendous testimony to His goodness and to His faithfulness!

Over and over God proves His faithfulness. He is so good to us! Last night was a joyous reminder of this.

Some Additional Thank-Yous Are In Order As Well:
Thanks to those who contributed their voices...the Schiesls and Tom and Samantha.

Thanks to Scott for the great work with sound and to Jackie for the wonderfully tasteful slides that accompanied the service.

Thanks also to the ladies who provided the incredible reception following the concert, and to John and Amy for helping out with childcare!

Working together, God was glorified and the service was a testimony to His goodness and faithfulness from beginning to end.

Truly, we are so very blessed!

So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
I Corinthians 10:31

Thanks for serving to His glory with excellence!
