Tonight was my first time going to church in eight months. It was online (it will be that way for Saturdays when I work) and it wasn’t my church that I was attending, but I felt at home with the pastor and his preaching.
Fun fact: Allegheny Center’s senior pastor was the former Worship Pastor at Cornerstone Ministries. He was also in a video with Pittsburgh Dad and former Pittsburgh Steeler wide receiver Santonio Holmes at Christmas in 2017.
The music was performed well by the church’s worship band. They performed “Jireh” which I’d heard previously at Cornerstone as well as some other hits. The church played a video about Memorial Day before Pastor Alan preached his message which was out of the book of Judges.
Overall I was pleased with last night’s service, even though I attended online. I plan on returning next Saturday to hear the conclusion of the “Without a King” series. Although it won’t be my new church home, it was nice to worship for the first time in a long time.
I plan to attend Cornerstone as well even if only as a guest. I might technically still be a member there but I’m not sure. I didn’t want to feel like I left there on bad terms last fall. I just needed the time to find myself. John and Kelly (from work) gave me the interest and inspiration to go back to church when we had our conversation last week about church and Christian music. That when I knew something was missing and I just needed the time to find myself.
After so much time away from God, it’s time to get back into the Word.
