Sam is one of our parisioners, who is currently preparing for a double lung transplant. She was going to remain home in Port Charlotte over the holidays, and move to Gainseville January 1st in preparation for the transplant. Unfortunately, the doctors determined today that it would be best for her to remain in the hospital in Gainseville until the transplant actually takes place.
While this is discouraging news, I was greatly encouraged by the reactions of our parishioners. All of them have expressed concern for Sam and asked about her, and many have chosen to send cards. To me, a healthy church is not judged by its size, but by its heart. Healthy churches contain people that love each other, and that truly take an interest in each other's lives. I'm proud to say that, while we're are a church that is tiny in size, we are huge in heart. Truly, our people are following Jesus' Great Commandment, while they fulfill His Great Commission.
