Perseverance- Not Giving Up When Life Gets Hard

During the month of July our theme has been perseverance...we've learned about how people in the Bible persevered, how Jesus persevered, and how God can teach us through times of perseverance.  Tonight at Firm Foundation (our intergenerational family program) we experienced a power outage that tested our ability to persevere.  Instead of our expensive sound system, we just sang a cappella, instead of microphones, we talked a little bit louder, and instead of air conditioning...well we sweated.  Since our lesson today was "when life gets hard, we can remember what God wants to do in us," we can remember that we can worship God and enjoy the company of our church family with or without electricity.
