This morning I kicked off the first leg of the "Blood Bought Church" tour at Zion UMC in Ashville, followed by a 45 minute time of ministry at their sister church, Emmaneul UMC in Circleville. I love the people and the acoustics at Zion...the cathedral ceilings and stained glass windows make for a wonderful visual and audial experience. Follow that with the enthusiasm of the congregation at Emmanuel UMC, it was both a humbling and uplifting time for me!
