One of the churches that I attend is Christ's Covenant Church in Winona Lake, Indiana. This morning's sermon was about the passage in Luke (9:57-62) where Jesus is talking to several people, and is basically saying that nothing should get in the way of following Christ, not even things like burying family members. That's a neat concept, because it shows that, even though we love our families dearly, that Christ must be #1 in our lives.
After the first (9A.M.) service, I checked out the Friendship Ministries class. What that class is, is a class where people with physical and mental disabilities can go and learn about Jesus. My housemate Andrew is one of the leaders, and I enjoyed seeing how it operates. People with physical and mental disabilities DEFINITELY have a place in the church, and too often they are one of the types of people that the church neglects, not always intentionally, but neglects nonetheless, and so it's rewarding to see Christ's Covenant embracing this ministry!
