I have always hated Memorial day weekend when it comes to church. Can anyone say: "Ghost town?" However, this year was different. I loved the experience we had on Sunday. Was the crowd large, honestly, I couldn't tell you, I didn't look! It was such a moving service. You see, we didn't have the typical song service, typical sermon, typical communion and offering. Yet, we had all of that and more. It really can't be described. It was incredible. If you missed it, man, maybe church on a holiday would be a good idea?
Thanks to Jared Adamson for dreaming up and organizing this experience of worship. Thanks to Julie Gregory for adding so much to the leadership of this service. Thanks to everyone who hosted communion stations. Thanks to Barb Walchle and Keith Kruse for your great work on the AV side of things. Thanks to the NP-3 Kids who did such a great job in "Big Church". Finally, thanks to everyone who attended and participated. What was it like? Here are a few e-mails I received.
Brian, my young friend, thank you for today's service. For me it was the most worshipful service I have experienced in a very long time. Newer and older songs included! :o) You really are in the right job. (ministry) I know that being a minister is not an easy job but if you keep on trying to please God and not man you can't help but to succeed. FAITH PEEL
Brian, I had to comment on Sunday's service. Dan and I were suppossed to be out of town but our plans fell through at the last minute. I am SO GLAD we did not miss Sunday's service. It was incredible and there was such a worshipful spirit in the church. I was trying to talk to Melanie about it later and it was almost hard to describe. You just had to be there!! Actually the last two services have been great. The one the week before about being a DISCIPLE of Christ meant so much to me too. We got to meet with Dan Bacon last week and he was also talking about some other things that the leadership of LCC has in mind for the future. All I can say is that I feel SO EXCITED and am so glad we found you guys!! Or should I say I am so glad we were led. When we joined the church and you prayed with us you mentioned God taking a bad situation and turning into something good. How true!! Have a good week! ELAINE HENSLEY
Wonderful service on Sunday....the ultimate memorial. PAT MARTIN
Anything to add? Why not e-mail me or simply comment! I would love to hear how God worked in your life through the worship experience on Sunday.
B OUT!!
