An Inkling
Two months ago John and Katie Francis and I went out to Natural Bridge one day to visit with and video Lou and Nancy Skidmore. Skid was one of the pastors here in the 70s and 80s, and had a huge impact on St. Giles.
Shortly before Skid came to St. Giles the Holy Spirit had filled him anew. That poised him to serve well here as the Spirit’s wind blew widely in our congregation. On this video Skid gives some vignettes of both his own and St. Giles’ renewal.
We sought out Skid and Nancy because 2012 is St. Giles’ 75th Anniversary, and we’re focusing on what God has done here. He has done amazing things, changing thousands of lives – and that’s no exaggeration!
The point of attending to what God has done is not to glory in the past, but to learn to be more attentive to what God is doing now by having the horizons of our expectations expanded. And hearing what God has done here over the years is definitely stretching.
Watch and enjoy! And let’s seek God’s guidance through the various events of our 75th Anniversary celebration, so that we can be about what he wants to do next through St. Giles.
To be continued…. (praise the Lord!),
