Our Church Home in Alice

We have been going to a church here regularly for a couple of months and we have decided that it is the church for us. It is called Christian Community Centre and the website is: www.christiancommunitycentre.com. I took a picture this past Sunday, but there are pictures on the website as well.


This past Sunday there was a guest preacher. He was so amazingly enthusiastic. His faith is stronger than anyone I think I have ever seen. His brother has had cancer for about the last 18 months, and it doesn't even faze him because he truly believes that his brother will be healed by God if he prays for it. His brother's situation has had an amazing impact on the people around them and has brought many closer to God. I was so touched by his words and passion for the Lord.

The Christian Community Centre's service is very different than what I was used to at the Fairfax Church of Christ. The service is so upbeat and utilizes a full band and many singers on the worship team. At first I missed the quiet prayer time that I was used to at FXCC, but the more we go the more I am glad for the upbeat service that makes my soul so joyful. I guess it just goes to show you that there are many ways to praise God and to worship him. It is not the differences in the methods that matter, but just that you are always worshiping Him. I am thankful for the opportunity to learn a new way to do that.

Also this past Sunday we took a couple of people that were visiting from the States. Keith has been coming to church with us for the past month, Shane was here for a couple of weeks, and Erica came with us this past Sunday and will be in town for church next Sunday as well. Here is a picture of Erica, Travis, me, and Keith at our house last Sunday.
