On Sunday afternoon we had a commissioning service for Brandon and Megan Collins. It is a great joy in a Church to see young people grow up in our church, be saved, dedicate their life to the Lord, and follow the call of God. Such is the case of Brandon and we are happy with his faithfulness to the Lord.
Although the service was special, joyful, and exciting I was disappointed. Our attendance was at an all time low for a service like this or for any service we have had lately. I hope and pray it wasn't discouraging to them. When we send missionaries from our church they like to know the church is behind them and one of the best ways is to see human bodies.
I could come up with a lot of excuses as to why this happened, one being that it was memorial day weekend and it was time to party with friends and family. Well I can't change what happened Sunday but I can hope and pray that in the future our party time doesn't come before special times like these. But then again, our Lord Jesus said that when He comes back we'll be surprised because we would be partying.
