Praise God! He has been exceedingly good to our congregation these last few months. In addition to the fresh new faces at Franconia we were blessed by an amazing Easter Service.
This year we decided to have a joint service with the Franconia Korean Baptist Church. They supplied an excellent music program directed by Pastor Hong Kim, Clarient US Army Band Retired.
Our prayers were answered when we had to start directing people to the balcony to accomodate the overflow. When I went up for the offeratory prayer I noticed that the deacons had moved all the couches from the entry way into the back of the sancturary to create one more set of pews. In fact, I didn't find out until half way through the service that the deacons were so busy seating people that they forgot to take the offering. Everyone got a big laugh out of that.
After the service FKBC hosted a wonderful Easter buffet. The fellowship between the two congregations is developing in ways that I have not seen before.
At the beginning of the service I joked with everyone that it would be great if they could all come back next week. I wasn't really kidding. :)
