The Holy Spirit Soared

Sunday was fantastic.  What a crowd for summer and what a wonderful service.  We baptized another little baby and what a blessing it was to the entire church.  We heard beautiful music…you go Ashley.  We opened up God’s Word and surprised everyone with some special additions to the sermon…thank you Lynn…gorgeous as always.  A special thank you is in order as Lisa and I were welcomed back for another year.  The church celebrated and we were humbled by the love given to us.  Three and a half years have flown by and we continue to be amazed at how much God has worked at Stockbridge First.  We continue to soar.  We continue to fly high.

Life is like that.  It was designed to soar and fly, not be grounded or waiting to take off.  You were designed to rev your engines and put the after burners on.  Hit mach 1, 2, or 3 on occasion.  Perhaps back off a bit and coast a while, but whatever you do live life and live it to it’s fullest.  Some just want to complain.  Some just want to stay stuck.  Those people want you to be miserable as well.  Don’t let them steal your joy.  Keep flying.

At Stockbridge we are doing just that.  Some have tried to bring us down.  Not any longer.  Some have tried to slow us down.  Not any longer.  Some have tried to steal the joy.   No more.  We are a church that continues to rise above, work it out, and soar like an eagle.  

Come fly with us.  Come be a part of a church that is real, that struggles with the best of them, but that knows how to be a church with God as its center.  We are here.  We hope you will be too!

Have a blessed week!
