Jan 2 2012 "The Ideal Church"

 Not having remembered the actual title of Dr. Blake's New Year's Day sermon, I made it up, but the idea is correct.  He gives us 5 characteristics of the ideal church -- a church-going congregation, a studying church, a praying church, a happy church and a witnessing church.  If we can be all those things in the new year, our church will be a successful one.  The recording begins with the solo introit by our choir director, Rob Peterman, and I've also included the responsive prayer, led by elder, Barbara Lucord.
