15 years ago our family had a great tradition of attending Boat Church at Lake Hartwell on Sunday mornings. Boat Church is an informal meeting on Sunday mornings mostly for families that have full time churches in metro-Atlanta, but wanted to worship on Sunday's without driving back to town. Someone would bring a guitar, and someone would prepare a short message for the group. We were pretty consistent for about 5 years, but when grandkids started to appear, it became harder to orchestrate. My good friend, Luke Crawford, recommended we have Boat Church this past Sunday at our dock, and we ended up with 36 in attendance. People arrived by car, pontoon boat, ski boat, fishing boat and kayak. Luke's dad, John, and his brother, Jon Jon, led music and another good friend, Stephen Byerly, brought the message. It was so much fun seeing old friends, making new friends and worshiping together. I am not in a position to commit to this for every Sunday, but I sure hope we are able to do it more. "For where two or three are gathered in his name, there am I in the midst of them." Matthew 18:20.
