Laughter the Doorway to the Heart

by Brian LaMew

It has been a couple weeks now since Women's Comedy Night Out and the story is still being told. I was in a local restaurant this week and the manager commented that she attended comedy night out. As she was telling me the story, one of the waitresses came over and the manager said, "this guy is from the church that I was telling you about with the great comedy night. It is a great church!" It is exciting to think about the thousands of people in our community who heard about Community Church.

The beautiful thing about Community Church--the thing I absolutely love-- is that Community Church believes the Christian life and the church can be a place of laughter and joy, a place of creativity and comedy. Jesus' ministry was to bring hope and joy to those facing sorrow and the challenges of life. It was to point to the blessings big and small in life and to introduce people to a God who longs to bring blessings that tickle our hearts. It was a great week to see so many people involved in showing hospitality and grace to the women of central Michigan.
