The Dwelling Place

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.” (Psalm 91:1)

Sunday evenings is home to The Dwelling Place. For the last three weeks, our Church has found a soft, quiet place to find rest for our souls and meet our Heavenly Father in worship.

The lighting is subdued, the worship is gentle and reflective, and the teaching is insightful and compelling. There is always an invitation at the altar, and the faithful are often two deep, on their knees, and in prayer.

Oasis, our ministry to young adults, has taken the lead on this, and they have done an outstanding job. Every aspect of the planning and execution is bathed in prayer, and it shows. From the moment you enter the sanctuary from the back, you know you are entering the presence of God.

Over the years, I have heard of places where this is taking place, but it has always been in another church, miles away, and usually during a time I have commitments. It is an answer to prayer that such as this has now found its way to my own Church where I can actually participate as a member of the congregation. Servants sometime need to be served and enjoy the food they have been serving to others. I have found this at The Dwelling Place.

Why am I writing this? I suppose it’s because I don’t want you to miss this. Flowers only bloom for a short time, and then, they are gone. I don’t know how long this flower will be in bloom, but while it is, I want everyone to have a chance to share it. The Dwelling Place is a truly beautiful flower, and its fragrance is rising as a sweet odor to our God.

It starts at 6:00 p.m. with music beginning at 5:45.
