Today, January
30th, the Presbytery of Sacramento voted to place an administrative commission
over Journey Church of Folsom. Although the church voted to leave with property
186 to 32, the Presbytery decided that the smaller group was the true church.
This, for
those of us who are leaving, is true freedom—the freedom to worship and serve
Jesus without the constant heretical proliferation happening in the PC (USA).
One can only have true freedom within the boundaries of God’s word.
This Sunday,
January the 31st will be our last worship service at Journey Church.
On February 7th we will gather in worship, at 1:30 at a church,
Community Bible Church, that has graciously given us space. For a time we will be called Hope Presbyterian
Church of Folsom. We will be a part of the Evangelical Presbyterian
Church.
For some
reason my thoughts tonight are going back to the days of my family’s experience
at Warehouse Ministries and the beginnings of the Jesus Movement. I pray that
such a time will return and overwhelm the youth of all our churches. May our
Lord bring redemption, healing and transformation to his people. May we grow
and flourish and be true servants of Christ.
Here are a
few videos from those early Jesus movement days. The first one includes my
favorite album cover. In fact we own the album with nothing to play it on:
Erick
Nelson, not a well-known singer, was always my favorite performer at Warehouse
Ministries. This song is so relevant for the times we live in:

"Oh, freedom, oh, freedom,
Oh, freedom over me!
And before I'll be a slave,
I'll be buried in my grave,
And go home to my Lord and be free."

Kathy what is all of that other stuff? But thinks for the song.
I welcome you and the whole congregation to the EPC. May be one day I will get to meet you all. We could always skype. I rejoice with all of you.
Welcome to the EPC, Viola! God bless you and your congregation in your sojourn!

PS--Our General Assembly is in Fair Oaks next year. I fully expect to see you there.
Wow! David, that is wonderful. You will see me.
Viola, it's a link to a cute little record player you can get so you can play your vinyl. There's lots more like that out there.
Thanks Kathy, I just looked. I have some Christmas money from a daughter I just might: )
