点评:We are so grateful to have found a church home at Beachside. We are grateful to God for a pastor who loves his congregation so well. We are grateful for a pastor that is honest and admits he has faults. Just this past Sunday I thought it was telling of how well he loves the people of his church because he said he couldn’t sleep the night before because he was worried about the feelings that his sermon might bring up. I am thankful for a pastor that doesn’t shy away from telling us the truth. I am grateful for a church that loves my kids well. I watched Pastor Khalil cross the parking lot this week to say hi and check in on my kids and a few others. It means enough to them that he cares about them that they mention it later. I am grateful for a church that has embraced my children’s strengths and seen them as assets not competition. It’s really beautiful to be a part of a church that isn’t afraid to empower a child. My oldest is part of the worship team. She has loved singing on a lot of theatrical stages but is really grateful to be using her gifts to worship the Lord. We are grateful to have found a church home at Beachside.
翻译:我们非常感激在海滨找到了一个教会之家。我们感谢上帝赐予我们一位如此热爱会众的牧师。我们感谢这位牧师诚实,承认自己的缺点。就在上周日,我还觉得他多么爱教会的会众,因为他说他前一天晚上睡不着觉,因为他担心他的讲道可能会引起别人的反感。我感谢这位牧师坦诚地告诉我们真相。我感谢教会如此爱我的孩子们。这周我看到卡利尔牧师穿过停车场来打招呼,并问候我的孩子和其他几个孩子。他关心他们,以至于他们后来都提到这件事,这对他们来说意义重大。我感谢教会接纳我孩子们的优点,把他们视为资产而不是竞争对手。能够加入一个不惧赋予孩子力量的教会,真的非常美好。我的大儿子是敬拜团队的一员。她热爱在各种戏剧舞台上唱歌,但她也非常感激能够用自己的天赋来敬拜主。我们很感激在海滨找到了一个教会之家。
