Imagine walking into a nice little chapel in the country. It's up the Hollar and the birds are singing in the trees. The children are playing in the church yard. They are behaving You walk inside and we are sitting around just having sweet fellowship. The brothers and sisters are sharing their hearts, burdens, prayer requests, and the sweet Spirit of God is there like a descended dove of peace. Christ is the grand topic. You are who you are and you are accepted in the Beloved. Like others, you may not be all you want to be, but in the presence of the brothers and sisters, you are encouraged to go on with the Lord. You are not defeated, you are inspired. We laugh, we talk, we cry, we search the scriptures, we search our hearts, we pray, we repent, we open our hearts and lives to each other, we are brethren. It is a place of blessing and encouragment. This is what sister Darlene and I want the board to be like. Not some cold, TEXT ONLY, one demensional, message are. Come in, have a seat, have a coffee, tea, juice, etc. Heave a sigh of relief. You are welcome here. We have convictions, but we are also human. May the Lord bless you. Your Servants, Bro. Ben and Sister Darlene

What a wonderful vision Brother Ben, And what was the address of the church ? I just might be moving there. If each one of us would desire and live this way then we can have sweet fellowship even if it is only an internet fellowship. I dare say that those of us that are regulars here do desire the same thing , we may not all be on the same page in life, but we do desire that closer walk with our Lord and Savour Jesus Christ.

Dear Brother and Sister Smith, This board already has made such an impact on many lives..we are "safe" here to discuss our faith and practices without fear and without the unloving touch of the world..
Thank you both for all of your hard work and dedication to keeping this flock together!
God bless, Sister Penny
