Testing, testing, 1-2-3...
My third visit to Christ (Lutheran) Church, my wife's first. Divine Service with Holy Communion (which we sat out). Sermon on John 18, "Whom do you seek?", first of a Lent series on "Questions of the Passion". A wonderful contemporary hymn on Jesus as the Lamb of God.
We had to rush straight off after the service, as my family were coming to us for lunch. Driving home, I was finding it difficult to second-guess how my wife was feeling about the service, and was concerned she might have hated it. I finally plucked up the courage to ask, "Dare I ask what you thought of it?"
"It was wonderful", she replied. Indeed, in some ways she was more positive about it than I was, though still having more reservations about Lutheran theology than me.
So it looks like we are now going to be going there regularly - let's see how things work out, but at the moment, it's looking very positive. This is a real answer to prayer.
