Coming to a Church Near You by Judy Haught

We decided that one of the best ways to get to know the people of the 2nd Judicial District would be to attend church with them. After all, what could be more meaningful than sharing a worship experience? So far we have been guests at churches in Washita, Custer, and Ellis Counties.
At the First United Methodist Church of Cordell, we received a warm welcome. We even met up with some semi-relatives. Our sister-in-law's aunt and uncle were celebrating their sixtieth wedding anniversary that Sunday. Reverend David Croninger spoke about the gifts of the spirit, and we left with resolve to discern and use our gifts.
Next on our worship itinerary was the United Methodist Church of
Weatherford. Reverend Lynn Brack led a beautiful, traditional service and delivered a sermon on how Christians should tell their story. Again we were warmly welcomed and inspired.
Last Sunday found us worshiping in the United Methodist Church of Shattuck. We were the recipients of genuine Christian hospitality, and Reverend Lisa Beavers gave an insightful lesson on Old Testament kings, making King David come to life.
We plan to continue visiting churches throughout the district. Although we are United Methodists, we plan to visit other denominations as well to share Christian fellowship. So be on the look out for us; we'll be coming to a church near you very soon. And remember that a vote for Judge Haught is a vote for a man of faith.
