| St. Matthews on the Corso, Manly |
One of Mary’s kids had a birthday party at the park
today, so we stopped by for a bit.
It was nice talking with the kids and family. Then we went into town for some lunch at a
café. Afterwards I went to St.
Matthews Manly. It was a perfect
small, quaint and inviting church. The worship was just
right- with a mixture of contemporary songs and hymns. The worship leader used to tour with Third
Day. He has an incredible voice
as well as choice of songs. I love
listening to him pray, in an Australian accent, with such conviction. The sermon was to the point and scripturally
sound. At the end, we sang Amazing
Grace with the added part by Chris Tomlin. We sang that version at my church in Texas, Austin
Stone. When we starting singing, “My
Chains are Gone, I’ve been set free, My God My Savior Has rescued me…” I felt
like I was home. Afterwards they
had me for tea and biscuits and then several of us went to the Ivanhoe across
the street for $10 steaks. They
were all so kind and inviting. I
felt such warmth and happiness.
I’m so glad I found a church home.
