Not a 20 min "sermon" from the "pastor"? Hey, you bet I will be praying for the Body that you are a part off, you are His visible expression within your community .

It was a big stink (with some folks) when we removed an "order of worship" from the materials handed out in our congregational gathering. However, now we are free to pray as long as we are led, to receive testimonies, and to interact as a body as the Spirit leads. HaHa, the choir used to be upset if they practiced three songs and only sang two. Finally, people are used to the "flow" of our corporate gatherings. Did you notice I said "congregational gathering" instead of "church?" (Give me my pc points!) What's up Q? Greetings from the flagship seminary of the SBC. Brother Woods,

I bet someone is being shepherded by you as you go about your day to day life/ministry as one of them there exemplary elders? No degree, name badge, or fancy ceremony required! Lionel-
