Finding a church
It will be a week on Wednesday since we have been in Dallas so I can't say we have had a full week here since our trip to Memphis.
Today is Sunday, well in effect Monday but... anyway the one thing we were praying about was finding a church.
When we were in Dallas earlier this year Sam noted a church that wasn't too far from the rail line and suggested that we try it out. I honestly don't know how he knew it was a church because just looking out at it from the train window one would never figure that out. It's hidden, in the same area with shopping malls and it has no visible sign but it is a church.
When we got to the parking lot, wow! plenty of cars parked, service was already in session (we thought they would start at 10am, they start at 9:30am). We were ushered in by a very nice old man, he told us service schedule, luckily we were just in time for the sermon so he took us to 2nd floor and showed us into the sanctuary.
Ho! I was just wowed, the place was very posh, (by my standards), it was kind of like what visitors from the village or our of town would experience when they walked into KPC and there was "heavens gates and hells flames" or "a Christmas cantata", very spectacular!. Ok, maybe I have exaggerated but how else would you imagine what I'm describing?.
We got in just in time for the special song, it sounded really good the message of the song was very loaded. I didn't get it the first time but thankfully I had a second chance to listen to it and lets just say the message was deep, I think the title was 'I dare you to move' something about leaving comfort zones.
Mich came with us and I was impressed by how he sat through the sermon with out a fuss, maybe he too was marvelling at the two screens that showed whomever was at the pulpit, the wonderful music and the illustrations during the sermon.
Just in case you are beginning to think I'm too carnal the sermon was on preaching the Gospel, getting out of our comfort zones and sharing Gods Word with the people around us. The sermon was from Luke 5 where Jesus calls Peter and the disciples to become fishers of men.
Service was just an hour long so we decided to stay for worship in the next service and had Mich try out Sunday school.
We had a wonderful time, stayed through to the end and had to drug Mich out of Sunday school because he didn't want to leave, even after all the other kids were gone.
First time visitors had a chance to meet up with the Pastor and when we told him we were originally from Uganda he said he had a Ugandan on staff, small world I tell you.
In conclusion, I think I can safely say that we have found a bible believing church to attend while we are in Dallas, its called Fellowship Bible Church Dallas and if you are interested you can have a look at their website on http://www.fellowshipdallas.org/
