I am personally grateful for the security team, because for several months I was the security team, setup/teardown team (with occasional volunteers), and cleanup team. I also had to occasionally teach Kids Sunday School, help with A/V, and even preach. That does not make for strong security. We finally got a man who saw the need, got extra training, and now we have a good team in place. (We also have teams for everything else, though I help in several areas still.) I get updates and questions from the team, but I can sit more on Sundays. We certainly live in a dangerous world, but God is good and has His people equipped.
Daniel

“This is my command: Love one another as I have loved you.”

Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Galatians 5:24, CSB
God wants to give us all good things according to His will, and that begins by giving up our own desires for God’s will and desires, giving us a family in Christ and eternal peace and life to be shared with others.
