Orlando - General Assembly 2009 Day 8

Sunday morning we attended the Kissimmee First Church of the Nazarene

The guests for the day were Nazarene Missionaries to Dominica Dan and Brenda Hopkins

In church on Father’s Day

After church we went to the Golden Corral for Father’s Day, when after lunch, Caleb asked if he could have dessert and comes back with this gummy bear, jelly bean, M & M, and cookie sundae concoction of a dessert.

After lunch, we went and registered for our One Heart Many Hands missions work

We had a few hours before the Commissioning Service, and so we visited Epcot

Getting ready to ride the time machine which was a really neat attraction

The part of Epcot we visited has a futuristic feel

Great Father’s Day at Epcot

We then attended the One Heart Many Hands Commissioning Service held at the First Baptist Church of Orlando. It was a full blown service with singing, etc. There are nearly 2,000 Nazarenes doing various service projects all around Orlando in the week preceding General Assembly.

Dr. David Wilson, General Secretary of the Church of the Nazarene offering words of greeting

Dr. Joel Hunter, pastor of the large Northland Church in Orlando. He gave a great mini sermon from Romans 12. The very last sentence of his message was, “The church needs to be saved from focusing only on itself.” I say, “Amen!”

General Superintendent Dr. Jerry Porter giving a different but very effective kind of commissioning message from Isaiah chapter 6

In response to Dr. Porter’s challenge of who will go and serve

It’s been a really good day!
