(Dispatch from Forbearance Presbyterian Church) A Ministry of Noticing by Charlotte Johnstone

Eddie Mitchell saw him every Sunday at Forbearance—a young man who always sat near the back, somewhat apart from the others, aloof and alone, like a wraith casting no shadow as he came and went. The young man never smiled and the occasional greeting from another elicited no response. Eddie could see that others avoided him, perhaps puzzled and even a bit apprehensive about invading the aloneness that seemed to surround him.

What happens when we begin to notice those who were formerly un-noticeable? Find out in our most recent dispatch from Forbearance Presbyterian Church, in the January/February 2008 issue of Horizons.

Call (800) 524-2612 or subscribe to Horizons or order the January/February 2008 issue (HZN-08-200; $4 plus shipping).
