Among the Churches

with contributions from Claud McCabe

I would like to write to the Sentinel in regard to the growth of our church, thinking it may help some other small, struggling church. It fills my heart with gratitude when I think of the progress and growth we have made.

A little over one years ago we were meeting in a hall down in the city. We were not satisfied with the surroundings and finally decided to move into a storeroom down-stairs, where it would be more convenient for strangers to attend. We did not have the large attendance we anticipated. We had just settled, when the building was sold, and we were compelled to move into a very unattractive and untidy hall, so much so that we did not like to take our visiting friends there.

After talking the matter over, we came to the conclusion that this would be an opportune time to build a church. Surely we were being driven by Love to find a place we could call home. To mortal sense for eighteen people to build a church seemed a foolish thing to do; but in constantly realizing that God was our supply, we had no fear of consequences, and in a very short time we were worshiping in our own church.
