Every so often this happens. As a creative arts director person you get to experience some good Sunday mornings, some challenging Sunday mornings, some funny Sunday mornings, some that you wish didn't happen, and some that did and you wonder how in the world you made it through. But then there those that become very special. This type of Sunday morning becomes a true heaven on earth type of thing. I am talking about mornings that go way beyond anything you could have ever anticipated. Mornings that are the type that people will talk about for a very long time. Yesterday was one of them. It has been amazing how people have been talking about it today. So many were touched in a very special way. God always shows up. But, I think that He will, at times, pick a day just to remind us that He can go way beyond anything we could ever imagine!
Yesterday everything, and I mean everything, was spot on. Yes, even the Campus Pastor Moment was way beyond awesome. :) Music it seems is usually (but not all the time) the catalyst in setting the tone. That was definitely the case yesterday! We had a brass band along with our favorite percussion guy, Micah. We incorporated a little Latino flair with David Danced to a touch of gospel, to rock and R&B. All the vocals were amazing. The energy was on fire. Dave's teaching was great - I really had my eyes opened to the meaning behind certain scripture (thanks to professor Dave!). The Advent/Communion moment (in its second week) continued to be real good. I think that people appreciated how we talked about our surplus in the budget going back to the community to help those in need (yeah, that was the CP moment). Dennis really shined during the offering prep. Hey, it was even Dennis and Renea's anniversary! And, at the end of the last service, Renea was so overcome with the Spirit that she was almost paralyzed with what to do next (she was supposed to dismiss at the end of You Are Good as we held a chord - it took a while. It was amusing to see the looks on the faces of the musicians on what to do next!). One of the brass players recorded the service. I can't wait to see and hear it!
But it is the stories afterward that really make it all worth it. How lives were touched. The stories are still coming in. It was great!
