I am loving spending time in the International Visitors’ Center after services. We started this last month as a way for me to be able to meet guests to our church. I have been so encouraged to meet some wonderful and fascinating people. There’s no way to mention everyone, but just this morning I met some nice Kenyan ladies, a teacher from Raytown High and his wife, and a brand new set of triplets born to a couple in our church!

I wish everyone of you could be there with me to meet these people. But, wait a minute! They sit right there beside you in services. Why not break the ice yourself and reach out to someone sitting around you next week? Don’t be afraid or ashamed if the person you “meet” has been attending here for years. I’ve enjoyed meeting many of them myself these past few weeks.
