GateWay

Reach Wide – Teach Deep – Unleash Community Impact

I have a good friend whose first son got married
so they paid for a first class honeymoon suite at
a luxurious hotel. The newly weds arrived really
late in the evening after their wedding.

Looking forward to their first night as a married
couple in a very expensive King sized bed they
found themselves in a room with a sofa, a chair
and a coffee table! The sofa had a hide-a-bed, so
they pulled it out and spent a miserable night on
a very uncomfortable lumpy double sized mattress.

The next morning the groom unloaded verbally
on the hotel clerk at the front desk. The clerk said,
“I don’t understand, didn’t you open the door to
the bedroom?!” The groom sheepishly went back
up to the room and opened the door he mistakenly
thought led to a closet and found…a king-sized bed
covered in fruit baskets, boxes of chocolate and
a dozen red roses! True story.


The moral to the story, “TRY EVERY DOOR AVAILABLE!”
There are people in the Visalia region that have never
tried a door leading to the interior of a church. Use this
line, “If you don’t have a church to go to on Easter, I’d
like to invite you to GateWay.” It’s a known fact that the
world goes to church on Easter. There will be hundreds
of people at GateWay this Easter morning. I hope you sit
and say, “I’m so glad I invited…”

 God Bless,
Pastor Ed
