it's interesting (good word that!) going to different churches. i guess i forget other churches will do things differently to Thornleigh. this morning kirri, deb, tim and me went to visit ez at her church. it was good to see her. it was funny us four sitting in the back row (at ez's request) and the pastor coming up to meet and greet us. he asked us where we were from etc. we said thornleigh baps. neither kirri or i wanted to say that we worked with erin, coz of the reputation our work has with this man. anyways. as an aside: i also realised the four of us all did work for the same organisation and that was weird. then during the service the four of us were welcomed and it was bizarre coz the pastor said something about hoping we had letters of permission from our thornleigh pastor for being at a different church. afterwards kirri and tim agreed that he asked for letters of permission because they wanted to make sure that we and our pastor all knew how dodgy their church was. so the long and short of it is that there wasn't much Bible in that place. which is a big shame. they seem to have the passion, but where was the Word?? the sermon went forever, and the last 2 minutes pulled out some Scripture. so that was 'interesting'. i want to be openminded when i visit other churches, but it's hard. perhaps i need more humility (perhaps!? ha!).
