It’s just Andrew and Tim this week. Andrew spent the last several days at a denominational conference in Chicago. It was cold, a little discouraging, and spiritually character building in the way only winter and long meetings can be. Thankfully, church on Sunday reminded him why we do this in the first place.

Back at Safety Harbor, it was too cold for anyone to sit outside, which somehow led to a great problem. A bunch of college students showed up. There was also a little bit of exploding communion and foot washing. Not really, but almost.

At Lakeview, the cold weather forced baptisms to move indoors. Unfortunately, the heat was not working, so the symbolism remained intact. Cold water, cold air, warm faith. Tim is now officially entering the fundraising chapter of his ministry career as Lakeview begins the process of building their new worship center.
