- Driving up, the church property looked great after yesterday’s Super Saturday, which accomplished major hedge trimming, gardening, and floor cleaning. The property looks like somebody loves it!
- Two families who are on vacation each left an older teen at home. ?Those kids came to church today. ?On their own.
- A child saw me carry the Roomba into the sanctuary, and “couldn’t wait” for Time with Children. ?The Roomba was a great prop to talk about the spiritual life. ?(“Purpose Driven Roomba”)
- While we sang “God You Spin the Whirling Planets” the Roomba whirled through the pews, amongst people’s feet.
- Two young teenagers helped lead worship today: one read scripture, the other did the Prayers of the People (meaning that she wrote the prayer herself). ?Even better: this was not some special scheduling effort. The kids are just in the rotation, and that’s how it fell today.
- At fellowship hour we had hotdogs that were leftover from yesterday’s Super Saturday. Delicious.
- While I ate my hotdog I watched three very young children play with a ping pong table. ?They were so so happy to be at church together, even after spending the day together yesterday.
- At the “Dream Team” meeting after church, the team members were excited about moving to two services. ?I was tempted to rein them in. But stopped myself.
