DAY 8
We do not have problems believing but we do with committing says Brother Tom from Akron First Assembly Church. My son and I attended Sunday school there this morning. When we first got there I noticed only white people there. We were the only people of color as we entered the huge building however we was greeted with open arms. My son noticed a make shift coffee shop with all the trimmings. It seemed like a fully stocked Starbucks. Mrs Karen "O" gave us a verbal tour of the entire facility. The church seemed like a high school. Long hallways, classrooms and offices sets the backdrop for this church.
The Sanctuary was an warm state of the art area with cushion seats that made us feel at home. Bible study was lead by Brother Tom and he spoke about the verse that says "if you ask then you shall recieve". He said that if you ask and you dont recieve then something is wrong. He says that God gives freely to those who believe and if you dont recieve then the problem is you. I didnt get to stay for service because I was headed to New Beginings for my Pastors last day before he left for Arizona.
Pastor Chris Hale came into the pulpit for the last time before leaving and turning the church over to the Burning Bush a new upstart church with Pastor Kelker. It was an emotional service filled with Pastor Hale telling us to "if we look for the word of God then we will be alright". He said that he believes that some in our congrgation were to depended on him and not God. Pastor mentioned while he was leaving us in good hands this was not a good bye but infact a see you later....Okay Brother Pastor see you later and thanks for everything.........
Stay focused!
