We had a great day in church as we celebrated the conclusion of our Winter Basketball season. We welcomed those kids and their parents who were able to be with us. They came up front and Fred Green presented them a trophy for winning the Varsity Division. I gave them certificates and team photos to take home with them.
Our praise team sang and got everyone up on their feet. Newcomer Taylor Chaffee (One of our basketball players) made her debut with the group and she did very well. Cliff Vanase came back to do a guest performance with the group too and it featured a guitar solo. They sang the song "Promises" which was written by Steve Contois.
I picked up on that and rolled it into my sermon. I talked about how important game plans are. Citing the excitement around March Madness, I reminded everyone that team success doesn't just happen. It takes planning and cooperation. Then I talked about God's plan to send Jesus into the world, a plan that was hinted at by the prophet Jeremiah in our text. Then I pointed out that once we have been forgiven, God's plan is for us to go out into the world to share that news. In effect, God's game plan to save the world includes us.
Michelle Chaffee captured the praise team singing on video and so here it is for you to enjoy again, or if you missed it, to see what you missed.
