A Special Kind of Sunday
As the Fall chill enters the air, we know that before long the
colors go on display and we’re surrounded by the beauty of a new
season. The glorious sight of our changing surroundings reminds
us that this time of year brings a number of festivities. Surely,
calendars begin to fill with family gatherings, parties, and
activities, kicked off by a very special kind of Sunday, one that
ushers in a season of festivity.
Each year, we have the opportunity to worship with a slightly
larger crowd. Smiles broaden just a bit more, merging with
lingering handshakes and hugs. Along with that seasonal chill, the
air also fills with the sounds of fellowship and the smell of food.
Our hearts are warmed by the arrival of another year’s
Homecoming.
It’s a special kind of Sunday that affords us the opportunity to see
where we’ve come from and where we’re going. We remember
those special relationships formed through the shared experience
of living, working, and basking in the presence of our Lord Jesus.
We reminisce of years passed, the good times spent in good
company, and ponder what’s to be, knowing that God still has
good things in store for us.
This year, I hope you’ve already made plans to join us for our
annual Homecoming celebration Sunday. Rev. Jeff Roberts will
make a much anticipated return to the pulpit to proclaim the
message. We look forward to great fellowship, great food, and
great company shared around the table following our worship
together. It’s sure to be a wonderful time to celebrate and worship
together, honoring God for all He
continues to do here at Knightdale
Baptist Church and in the lives of
believers.
