Exceeds what we hoped to find
Fairway Christian. The Holy Spirit's presence is palpable (goosebumpy) in the soaring music, clear and relevant-to-daily-life teaching from Scripture, and in the moving, spontaneous, and emotional prayers.
Everyone stands and sings joyfully, and nobody seems to be itchin' to leave early...to the contrary, so many stay and chat in the entrance afterward that their happiness is contagious and we stay longer too.
Boredom, itchin' to get out, and grim, morbid faces in a church are not consistent with the Spirit truly being present and illuminating and opening the people's minds/hearts.
"22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,....." Gal. 5:22
