We recieved this comment from a recent visitor–
Dear Pastor Cameron and the whole church:
We are a passersby. And when we are in town we stop by New Day to attend worship. It is always a great blessing. You stretch us…and are always warm and welcome. I wanted to drop you all a note about the last time we visited–which I think was a couple weeks ago. First off, last year when we were in town you sent off the Jones’ to South Carolina. Then, get this, the day we show up this year, you showed a video from the Jones’ and the church thanking you for your support and documenting the impact the ministry is having on people’s lives. Wow.
And during service we were able to witness the gift giving of a guitar. Wow, very cool.
After service wound down, I noticed a complete stranger struck up a conversation with my 15 year old son and made an effort to connect and go beyond the surface “how are you doing?”. That was pretty awesome. I approached two young people completely unknown to me and mentioned my younger son likes to skateboard and if there were any places around to skate or get gear. They overflowed with information. After sharing with my son all I learned, he asked me how I came to discover all this new information. I merely replied, “I found a coulpe guys that looked like skaters and went up to them and asked.” It is kind of a sad commentary that we are guarded with such initiatives. But New Day made it a “safe place” to venture out and talk to strangers. After all, who is a stranger if we are all in Christ? I hope that was a good object lesson for my son.
Anyway, pardon my ramblings but I felt impelled to share my thoughts and thank you for the blessing of being in community with you all.
