I would love to be part of a big local church. Especially a faithful church that sings with all their heart. But, there is an advantage in being small: We are mobile. Last week we cancelled services and went to the Geneva church retreat that took place here in Lausanne. Not a logistical problem. Everyone made it. Next Sunday, we’ll meet with several members of Pepperdine’s Board of Regents for a bi-lingual worship at their campus facility. Then on Easter Sunday, we will worship with Bethanie, the local retirement home just up the street, with about 40 residents, tripling our numbers. (They call us “the people with the good voices” because of the acappella singing.)

We met some new friends last night… Wonderful Christians with a godly and intelligent daughter in Pepperdine Lausanne. Their church is so big they have 2 days of worship services and a “north” and a “south” campus. The pastor is “videoed” for one of the campuses and teaches “live” at the other, without revealing where he’ll be in advance.

Big is not necessarily better. Small is not necessarily good. Each have their own pluses and minuses, growing together as they faithfully follow the Head.
