A day of worship, service and praise

Sunday proved to be another great day for our church. Last week we welcomed back our mission team and heard from several of them as they shared a word or two about their experience. The praise team accompanied the choir and sang "Here I am to Worship."

I thought that was a special service but this week was just as nice. I guess it really comes down to the fact that it is good to be in worship with people you know and love. This week the choir sang "Prayer" and my message was about the meaning of the cross. Joshua Zimieski was filling in on the organ for Adele and we had 113 people in worship.

After Church Amanda Duntz and I went over to St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church to help out with the Interfaith Luncheon. Mark Hopkins and a crew from Central Baptist cooked up a batch of hot dogs, beans and assorted goodies for the folks. We had about sixty people for lunch. Patrice Bernier, Mark Salomon, Amanda and I waited tables while Mark, Roger Mainville, Ellie Eccleston and her grandson, Cody, worked in the kitchen. As always, Shirley was in the kitchen helping with the salad and anything else that needed to be done.

It is always very satisfying to know that you are making a small difference by doing something as simple as serving lunch to the hungry.

Later that day Christ Episcopal Church hosted an Open Mic. Steve Contois, Cheryl Dutrumble and Paul Johnson represented our church and got into the fun. Our church is one of three that has hosted the event over the last couple of years. Anyone who sings or plays and instrument can come and share their talents. The rest of us can come and blessed. Stay tuned for the next Open Mic. I'll let you know when and where it will be.
