Day 7: Big Sunday & King's Community Church

On Sunday, we got to go to a regular Sunday morning and evening service at KCC. Pastor Iain had a really interesting message that drew a really cool parallel tying the human body and fitness, to the spiritual lives that we should be leading. His idea in a nutshell is something like this: We are called to run the race (as Paul stated) and never give up until we reach the finish line; however, in order to run a race in real life, we must be physically fit. We can't expect to get up off the couch one day and run a marathon or race in the Olympics the next day. It takes lots of training, and you have to start from wherever you're at currently, taking small strides each day to get in better shape until you can run the long distances. This idea carries into our spiritual lives, because we have to build up our faith at whatever level we're at. We have to take small steps, starting where we are, in prayer, fasting, and listening to God so that we can run the race.

Anyway, I thought that was pretty cool.

That afternoon, Sarah & Rob Malcolm had all of us (and a few church friends) over for a delicious pot-luck style lunch!

Later that evening at the service, Carter and Cassie shared their testimonies. We got to hang out with all of our new friends afterwards over take-out dinner at the church. A bunch of us got to eat fish n' chips one more time from a little food place across the street from the church. We were trying to squeeze in as much more of Aberdeen as we could before our last day in Scotland!
