I know - that was one of the things we had to get used to. There are altar services at times,but most of the people get the HG or come up for prayer before the preaching when there is congregational prayer for the sick. So many times when the preaching is over the altar service has already happened. This is the first church I have been to that this has happen on a regular basis. I really like it though, because it is very spontaneous.

That's pretty much the way it was there too. There was ministry time before the preaching. If not, and if there was an official altar call, then when everything was over and he was dismissing, he did his "Peace to the people" thing.

9 times out of 10 when there is an altar call at the end of the service, the pastor gets to avoid having to go shake people's hands in the foyer or at the door as they leave...besides the ones leaving during altar call are backsliders anyway.

Our "priest" is a very good orator and indeed cares for his parish!

I have heard people use some of the statements between Jacob and Laban. This was 2 dishonest people talking to each other and trying to make agreements with each other.
The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.
