Oh yes, Sister! I miss that kind of sincere and Spirit led preaching. When we attended a freewill Baptist church, we participated in foot washings and they were lovely and humbling; seemed to me one felt the Lord's presence in a special way. Bro. Jenkins, a non-denominational preacher who was there for a year donating his service to that church (it is a poor country church), once said after reading from scripture that Jesus said that if we wanted to be happy, we would do these things, including footwashing. Bro. Jenkins said, "I don't know about you, but I want to be happy!" He was an uneducated man who had taught himself to read by reading the Bible and could preach as good a sermon (or better) than most of the Ph.D's in theology I've heard. In fact, I think he preached the best sermon I've ever heard when he preached his last sermon there before leaving at the end of his time of service. He genuinely LOVED people, and you could feel it. You could feel the love of Christ in him and in yourself responding to his kindness and care of people. He was an East TN mountain boy who was in his 70's. Sister Wanda

I actually "met" my Pastor's wife from an online group and she invited us to attend services...it truly was a blessing to us.
