Preview Number Three

On Sunday, Mercy Hill held its third preview at Rowan University. About sixty people attended all total. We were led in worship by musicians on loan from Tenth Presbyterian Church's youth ministry, Maranatha. Another sister congregation, liberti fairmount, sent people to assist us with childcare.

Aditionally, all in attendance enjoyed an inspiring and challenging message from the story of Abraham and Isaac by pastor Phil Henry. Click here to either listen to or read a copy of the sermon.

This video was brought to our attention and we really like it. It explains "missional church" in under two minutes. Seriously.

Check it out and let us know if it helps you think differently about church. It may also help you to pray for Mercy Hill.

Our Trip to NYC

Our group at Newark Penn Sta.Lunch began at Phil and Polly's house with cold cuts and a season of singing and devotion. One hymn we sang was inspirational and provided food for thought, discussion, and prayer.

We left around 1:30pm and found out even before we left the house that we didn't know where we were going when Phil backed ever so gently into Jamal's car.

Jamal's words were, exactly, "That was my car."

We decided when we saw there was no damage that it was either the worst thing of the day which would only get better, or that it was a bad portent of things to come.

Read on and you decide.
