Fun Times in the Neighborhood

There seems to be a new sport in my church's neighborhood: knocking out our windows. A week ago someone threw a brick through a lower-level window into the fellowship hall. Then on Monday a big rock crashed through one of the windows in back. The window next to it is broken, too, but the inner window is intact.

So last night, after our prayer time, we boarded up those two windows tightly (replacing the temporary cardboard). I understand several other windows were broken previously. This is interesting.

A few weeks ago at music practice, a gal who has been attending Anchor ran into the sanctuary and said a couple guys were trying to break into her house. Police came and caught one guy.

All of which affirms that this is right where we need to be. I find it exhilarating.

About Me

Steve DennieCareer-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
My posts stray into sports, politics, movies, and other nonsense. But the continuing thread is serving God faithfully through the local church.
I've been blogging since 2004, and it's been fun. Please understand that, though I work for the United Brethren in Christ denomination, the nonsense I spew out here comes from my own semi-functional brain in a totally personal, non-official capacity. Yes, that's a disclaimer.
