What a wonderful time we had at Old Time tonight as we "closed out" 6790 Gowanda State Road with the last service. There was some congregational music, some special music and a few great testimonies. As I said on my Twitter post - we generated new memories as we re-lived old memories. We heard from a young Christian saved a year ago as well as our pastoral staff.
I had the privilege of also giving a testimony on my memories of "6790". Stacie and I were married there (actually the last couple to get married in the building that was knocked down and replaced with this current one). Stacie got saved there. I preached dozens of times there.
It was a very emotional time and ended with a very fitting and somber event - our Preacher singing the song he is known around the world for - "Tiny Little Hands".
I can't wait for Friday!!!
Awesome, that sounded like a great service. Almost had a tear in my eye thinking of preacher singing that song. I am so sad I will not be there Friday - I am in Indiana visiting my daughter Lisa, her husband Josh and my adorable granddaughter Evie.
