True church

 I didn't feel well last night, so watched Wednesday night services online. Willie was super. His message seemed aimed at me although I know it wasn't. 

I was one of those who didn't like the new church at first. Remember, I'm old, so my ideas are set in stone. The building grew on me. There was more room, the acoustics were so much better, and I realized what makes a church.

It's not the building, for sure. Trinity is populated by primarily native Palatkans who have given so much to make Trinity a home for people who believe in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. That spirit resonates during services. You can feel it.

I'm not a native, but I've lived in East Palatka for 54 years, so I feel like a native most of the time. During that time, when I did go to church, I tried at least 3. Never felt at home, even experiencing a snub in one when it was revealed I was a recovering alcoholic. 

Love flows in Trinity. Even if you are not native, you are welcome. Seeing the young people grow in our church has been a joy. I cannot imagine any church not wanting to be full of young ones. Without them and their participation, the church cannot grow. 

Here is my invitation. Know that you will be welcomed and appreciated at Trinity Baptist Church. There is no dress code; wear flip-flops if you like. Be prepared to be swept up in the spirit. If you aren't, then you don't belong.
