First of all, please forgive me for taking several days to write. Sunday was really the "icing on the cake" for a God-honoring weekend. Could it get any better than 3 baptisms on Saturday? YES! First of all, let me say, our choir is better than I ever remember it! They were that good. You see, it is not only in the sound of their voices, but it was the way they worshipped. I mean, it was almost like "sister act". Ocie Wakefield, a dear lady in the church said that it was the first time her prayer had ever been answered. What was her prayer? That a choir would not only sing well but actually look like they were having fun doing it! Choir, you rocked it out! Hands were lifted, there were smiles on your faces, tears in your eyes and your clapping was truly inspirational. I am having trouble coming up with the words to describe how incredible it was to be lead in worship by your voices and hearts. I cannot wait for the choir to be a part of leading worship again. Jared, Dan, Chip and Jen you have done a wonderful job! In fact, while everyone was singing during second service I took a walk outside to hear the sounds coming out of the open windows. It was heavenly! I know people were hearing it all over the neighborhood. I stood there thanking God that I was a part of LCC!
Then there was our drummer Doran! Isn't it cool how God works on hearts in "His time". Doran has been using his gift at LCC for a year or so, but only in the last few weeks has God finally found a way to show him that He was lacking a very important step...Baptism! It was an honor to immerse Doran into Christ at the conclusion of the 3rd service! Sweet!!!
Then there was a surprise party in honor of Mel and Landa's 35th wedding anniversary. Don't you just love PITCH IN dinners? Can I hear an AMEN? Thanks to the Conover's small group for organizing this special event. Thanks to the Hewitt's for providing special music. Thanks to Mel and Landa for their words of encouragement and love. It was a very special day.
Don't miss this coming Sunday or you might just earn a trip to the "Principals Office".
B. Out!!
