Life Church Allentown — Attraction in Allentown

I was prompted to describe my church experience. Mind you I belong to Life Church Nazareth so this was an easy ask. I decided to talk to how amazing it is through a story I posted on FB.

How do I even Start to share this morning? This is probably one of the most amazing days I have seen in such a long time. I have asked God to give me the right words to share. This will probably read as a testimony. Today’s story involves one of my closest friends.

My friend Pat and I have been friends for five years. Through life and other relationships our friendship has always stayed strong. As Pastor Jon said something this morning about coffee. She likes coffee so she has to be a good person. Definitely my interpretation of his words.

Sometime back Pat was talking about her struggles as it applied to religion. She was not getting answers she needed to fill her life. I never felt that I was adept to answer all the questions but I was also a little embarrassed that we never breached the subject. I answered what I could honestly but there was so much more hunger emanating from her that I offered some direction. I gave her all the information for Sisterhood within Life Church in Nazareth. When she started looking into Sisterhood she found that Allentown would be a better fit. She was right. The amazing women there took her in, answered many of her questions and gave her that next step toward our father. They became friends. Supported her along her path.

She continued with both Sisterhood and also attending church at Life Church Allentown. She decided that she wanted to take the next steps and be baptized several weeks back during a baptism service. Something was missing, something she needed to pray on. Today was the next schedule baptism service.

Yesterday she attended the Sisterhood conference and had the opportunity to meet Toni Collier(author of Broken crayons still color). Pat found out Toni was speaking at Allentown today and she asked her if she would baptize her. Toni said yes!!

Today’s events were magnified by Toni’s amazing testimonial. Go deep or go home!

Today I am both humbled and was honored to be asked to be witness to Pat being baptized. Pat’s daughter, Amy, was also there along with her closest friend Cathy and her husband Dennis. What stood out to me the most. Her “girls” as she called them from Sisterhood were all in attendance. Family….What life should look like.

When I spoke with Pat following she said to me that the best part of her day was when she came off the platform, dried off a little and finally took the towel from her face….Pat was surrounded by her “girls” and there in front of her stood her daughter.

Such an amazing day! My prayer with her today before I went into Life Church at Nazareth morning service, was simply.

Father, I ask that following Pat’s baptism that she receive everything she most desires in life and has everything she needs to walk towards you!

Today...

I have been going here for 6 weeks straight. I love it here. I can finally say I finally found a church I can say that is home. I have been looking for a church for a long time. That accepts me fully. I am totally aligned with this church. You will not fall asleep. I promise you that! You can cry and heal everything. Time you walk out, your heart is full of peace knowing that your spirit or God has answered your questions. That you were worried about. You will learn your own path. God has the answers. We just have to pay attention to the signs. On his timing, not ours. Bring tissue if you need to. I cry. Sing your heart out, I do! I am actually going to Serve Day. I know what it's like to be hungry. I want to help. They have an app. A band and singing. I never thought I would love church this much. I look forward to going to church. Anyone ask me what I am doing on Sunday. Going to church 1st. That's my day, and I look forward to seeing the people there as well. The staff is uplifting, the band , the singers. Everyone who volunteers makes it feel like home. I am sorry this is long. There are so many things to say. It over fills my cup. I am hoping you come and check it out. So you can experience what I am experiencing. I try to give my overflow to others each day when my cup is full. Have...
