G2

I went for the 2nd service today because I had to work yesterday, so didn't follow the family to ARPC. The first person I wanted to hug at the door was Ps Calvin and Sis Charis. It was the first time I met them since they returned from Hong Kong. I sat alone during worship. Many more familiar faces were probably resting their wobbly legs after the morning Stand Chart run (but James still managed to come back for the service!). Ps Calvin preached about Fasting. It was good, I was nourished, blessed and reminded what fasting is about. It reminded me to go beyond worshipping thru music or reading, but to have an intimate time with God through prayer and fasting. Reminds me of Chrisitan George's definition on fasting,"returning to God the worship we give to food". After the sermon, Ps Calvin gave probably the most heartfelt closing prayer I heard in Grace. It was a prayer of revival through intimacy with Christ through prayer and fasting. Something he preached about "going back to basics".

"Oh comforter and friend
how I need your touch again"
