Our daily life is a sermon shared with the world around us. Each of us has something special to share. Look what I have missed all these years. People come to church because they are invited, and it is our job, to not only invite, but to help make them feel welcome and guide them through the service, the building itself, and help them to meet the other members, then to bring them back and stay connected until they feel comfortable in these new surroundings. That is the way we can perform signs and wonders for our Lord and his church.
Faith is shared and spread one person at a time.
