Thursday Evenings at All Hallows (Thursday, August 15, 2024) Is Now Online


Welcome to Thursday Evenings at All Hallows

I regularly attended church during my teen years, choosing to stay to hear the sermon when the other young people went to their Sunday school classes. In fact, the only time I stepped into a Sunday school classroom was to teach a group of fourth graders one summer. I read a Bible story to them, then handed out newsprint and crayons to them, and had them draw what they had heard. I then asked each student to explain what they had drawn.

Like many young adults at that time, I drifted away from the church while I was at university, and I did not return until more than a decade later. My nieces who had been attending their aunt’s church had a bad experience at that church and my mother and I decided to take them to our church. I agreed to sit with the girls during the service.

As it turned out, the girls chose to sit with friends that they had made at church and I ended up singing in the choir and serving as a lay reader, reading the lessons, leading the Prayers of the People, and administering the chalice at communion. Two members of the choir invited me to join their intercessory prayer group. These two women who are now with the Lord would have a profound impact upon my spiritual life.

In this evening’ message we take a look at some ways that Christians can help not only their fellow believers grow as disciples of Jesus Christ but also serve as instruments of God’s grace to those exploring the Christian faith and way of life.

Reading: Hebrews 12: 1-17

Message: Watch Over One Another in Love
