a frigid night

I never thought anyone would come out tonight for our First Wednesday communion service due to the frigid weather...but they did.

It was a warm wonderful night of worship inside!

I was overcome with thankfulness to our volunteers that so unselfishly came to worship and serve others! So amazing!

Our communion team worked their magic to decorate the tables and prepare the elements!

All these little details come together to help create an atmosphere of excellence and celebration for our congregation!

It was good to be in the house of the Lord...now, if I can just get home safely!

Tonight was a night of communion.

Earlier tonight, Deering Dyer lead us in a great First Wednesday service at Crossroads ending with communion and the congregation coming forward for prayer with our Elders and Staff.

Next we came home to a dark house - living room lined with candles and nearly 20 college students worshiping and sharing communion. I cannot think of anything I would rather have our home used for. This picture shows how the college students used a cutting board and pan to serve the communion cups. The bread was served in another tray.


Communion is such a meaningful - connecting experience. Jesus served communion to those He considered his best friends, his followers, his beloved.

We did this tonight in remembrance of Him because we are His beloved...so amazing!

the final episode

Of course in ministry there is never an end, thank goodness. So, as we packed up Rebecca - we sat up communion and baptism for tomorrow night.

The college Small group stayed most of the day today to help us, and they ended the night by helping set up the baptismal for tomorrow. Now anytime you get young adults involved - the process gets just a little unorthodox, but, it gets done!

Bet your church never set up baptism this way?? Hope to see you at First Wednesday at 7:00 tomorrow. Good night - I'm exhausted but it's been amazing!!
