Tonight we had our FIRST Fire Station meeting at the Upper Room in Landisville, PA. Thanks to our friends, the Benner family, for letting us use this wonderful facility!
For months now we have been hearing people share their desire for in depth teaching and personal ministry opportunities... And we believe this is the right season for us to start offering these things to those in the area who are interested.
Our first Fire Station was a lot of fun with a little over an hour of worship. We call this type of worship "soaking" worship and by that we mean - worship that allows you some time to focus in and "soak" in God's presence. The band gelled wonderfully during this impromptu time of being with God.
During worship two people's throats started hurting badly and it ended up being a word of knowledge for someone there who had a problem with her throat starting to hurt terribly right before she led worship. Later we realized that both of the other people who got the word of knowledge for this person were also worship leaders. We took time to pray for this person and they felt a release in their throat. We also prayed for another person who had a throat virus.
Sean shared about making sure our "root" is intimacy with God. If our foundation (or root) is anything else - we will be easily shaken in our Christian life. We took time looking into God's written word to see this concept so clearly in John 15:5. We spent some time searching our hearts, asking God what our root really is.
We ended with a time of hanging out, drinking coffee, and eating a ton of snack food. :> It was a great night - and one I find myself thinking back on often and being inspired by the things I learned and witnessed.
We look forward to more times of growth and "refueling" together at November's Fire Station meetings!
