Easter Service

This post is coming late because over the weekend my computer began complaining that the limited memory may shut everything down. Thanks to some great tech support in the office I am back into the computing world. Special thanks to Tom and Ben.

Sunday was a celebration of Easter. It was the culmination of several weeks of preparation and many volunteer hours. We moved as a team committed to serve God through the Church. There is something very wonderful about being a part of a team of people whose joint efforts can make things happen, that no one could have done alone. Special thanks to those who fabricated brackets, designed and installed the track system, hung the valence and scrim, positioned the lights and projectors, prepared to sing, play an instrument, design poster, bulletins, response cards and sing in the choir. It was a great see all of our efforts come together. We did it because our Savior is worth whatever effort we can give. No job is insignificant. In the middle of our preparation, someone told me that they wanted to serve. They continued to describe how that for them any job done for the Lord was greatly significant.They would even consider hidden jobs like cleaning important because it is done for the One we love.

After trying the center projector we have decided to buy it. When it arrives, we will be able to incorporate several effects that a large middle projection can provide.

As I looked through the response cards, it was great to read the comments and rejoice with those who accepted Christ or renewed their commitment to walk with Him. When I called through the comment cards many expressed their intentions to come and worship with us again. It was a great Easter.

Yay for the new projector!
That should introduce many new options for creative elements in the service...

I am always excited to hear about the decisions that are made. Sometimes we don't get a chance to hear. What a great day!!!
