Thank you Reidsville Alliance Church! We had a very encouraging visit with you, and we found your church to be a surprising breath of fresh air. Everyone was very welcoming and we instantly felt a part of your family.
I never know what to expect when we randomly visit a church, but it inevitably turns out not to be so random. Reidsville Alliance and Pastor Peter Dodge instantly took time to get to reach out to us. Not only was the welcome and opportunity to worship great, but I really liked Pastor Peter’s methods of helping the church engage each other and the community. I found the Triad idea to be an easy-to-understand and useful-to-anyone approach to practicing the presence of God. For those who don’t go to Reidsville Alliance, triads are groups of three people who make time during each week to encourage each other–not necessarily accountability, mentoring, or prayer time but all these things can happen when people take a few minutes to practice the fruits of faithfulness, kindness, and joy with each other. By intentionally practicing a Christlike demeanor, the people of Reidsville Alliance have truly created a loving and Spirit-filled place to find God. I definitely want to take a moment to say that I felt encouraged and engaged by the people there before I knew about triads or that encouragement was something the church was striving to do! I love to see God moving amongst a group of people!
Unfortunately, we only got to spend one Sunday with you, but we look forward to being back in NC so we can see you all again.
