Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!
The dinners on Thursday, Friday and Saturday went very well! Thank you all for your help! I was able to serve on Saturday night, which was the first time I had ever really waited on a table like that. My jobs in high school were more grunt work, like mowing lawns or moving boxes around a warehouse. So maybe I'll be a restaurant server on Friday and Saturday nights! What do you think, Karen Mooney, am I server material?
Seriously, I am constantly amazed with all of you: when a serving opportunity presents itself, so many of you jump in and make it happen. In fact, we may have had a few volunteers too many one night! We simply do not struggle with volunteers in the worship ministry, and it is a testament to all of you. I say this in tears: it is such a pleasure to serve with all of you. You have a servant's heart, and you are such a blessing to me. Who knows what God will do with you in the future for His glory.
Special thanks to Jake Miller, who did a great job organizing the volunteers and working out the details. Jake, you have the gift of administration and you used it well. Like they would say in "Oklahoma," Ya dun good. :)
Special thanks also to Melinda Pipes, who did most of the cooking and made it easier for all of us! If you see her on Sunday, give her some applause! She said that "I owe her big time," and I agree.
I have no idea how much money we raised. Ask me Sunday and I'll let you know then. :)
Choir and Orchestra: begins Sunday night, September 13!
Yes indeed, you all have been asking about the date, so here it is! Our first practice will be in the worship center from 6:00-7:30. This year's Christmas music Will have drama, live choir and orchestra, special effects, the whole deal. Anyone from 8th grade to age 95 is invited. No tryout is needed and childcare is provided for every practice, so invite all your peeps. Yep, I said it, peeps.
A new feature this year is the 1st-5th grade choir! Our vary own Suzanne Chambliss will be leading a 1st-5th grade choir that will join us for the musical. The 1st-5th grade choir will practice at the same time (6:00-7:30) in the elementary big room (Fritz' area). However, they will do more than just practice: they will also learn the Bible and have fun with Fritz and his team every Sunday evening.
The Christmas Musical will be on Saturday night, December 12 and Sunday morning December 13. We're working hard on the musical this week: Tom Dean is arranging the orchestra music, Jake is hammering out the script with some other volunteers, and I'm getting that sickening "Christmas is coming" feeling in my stomach. Ready or not, here it comes!
Worship Night: Sunday night, August 9 at 6:00 P.M.
You and your family are invited to experience God in a concert of worship on Sunday night, August 9, at 6 PM. All are invited! There will be some great music and interactive worship with the XP Band. Mark your calendars now! More details to come in the next few weeks.
Random Blog Thought
We lost the volleyball game at CIY last week. My fault: I knocked the ball way out of bounds on the far side. Twice. The students told me to lay off the weights. :)
