11/18 Sunday We attended church with our daughter and son-in-law at Bent Tree of Life Bible Church where they are members. Pete, the senior pastor was less than our image of a ‘senior’ pastor. He is all of about 45 and now leads a congregation nearing 5,000; we typically see senior pastors with a lot more gray hair. Pete has a real relaxed style but surely gets the message across. He comes from a family with parents and siblings all in various ministries. In early January the congregation will move into their new sanctuary that will seat 5.000.
This week the minister of music had a couple as his houseguests whom he had worked with at a church in Chicago. He handled the piano and she was one of the praise team. Together they all made some great music that everyone wanted to join in singing.
If you want to take a look, their web site is btbf.org. We recommend taking advantage of any opportunity to attend one of their services.
As for the rest of the afternoon, after lunch it was home to catch the final NASCAR race for this season. It was not as nail biting as last week with Jimmy Johnson coming to the front in the last few laps, but it was a good race.
