Last night our ministry decided to try something new, well, new to us anyway. We decided to raise an Ebenezer in honor of Thanksgiving, a la 1 Samuel 7:12. So we gave everyone a pen and a piece of paper cut in the shape of a rock, and we asked them to answer the question, "How has God helped you?" While a duet played on stage, everyone wrote their answer and placed it in a basket up front. Then, during the message, we had a couple of people build a 'rock pile' for us with the papers we'd collected. I didn't have time to look at them last night, but reading the answers this morning was a real blessing. From Alyssa's, "I'm thankful for the Bible," to the student who was thankful for God's help coping with the loss of her father, it is impressive to see the many ways God is moving in our community.
