Yesterday morning, Hollie and I (and Brian, Addie, Bill, and Sheila) had the privilege to have breakfast with some of the greatest people on the planet. Ozell and Alton are part of Vinings Lake - and they were there when it was New Hope and made the transition with us as we began our new church. Not only did they make the transition, but they have absolutely been so faithful and supportive.
Someone asked Ozell this past Sunday what she thought about Vinings Lake - and she said she loved it! I am so glad that they love it and that they love us - because we love them!
Preconceived ideas might say that b/c of age or whatever else - some might not want to be a part of what you are doing - or the kind of church you are - but I want to encourage all of us to invite EVERYONE on the journey. I remember the Wednesday nights before Vinings Lake started - and Alton and I would sit together and pray - I am blessed to know them.
When you invite EVERYONE on the journey, it doesn't mean you change where you are going, but you might just be surprised - some may not stay that you thought would - and some might stay and love it. Alton and Ozell are living proof of that!
Don't miss out - invite EVERYONE on the journey!
