A hot time at church

We had a great day at church. It was hot and humid but we had every fan up and running. Fred Green welcomed everyone as our worship assistant and we sang "Lead on O King Eternal" to open the service. I told everyone that they were free to move closer to one of the fans so they could be comfortable during the service but that didn't matter once Cliff Vanase began singing the blues.

Cliff worked with the Praise team to polish up two songs he had been working on "A Change is Gonna' Come" and "Guess Who." With his electric guitar, his sunglasses and fedora, Cliff sang about the change Jesus can make in someone's life.

After Cliff finished singing I felt called to change the order of service and jump right into the sermon. The message was about Joshua and his call for the people get off the fence and make a decision. The point was that we needed to do the same thing. We needed to decide if we were going to follow Jesus and then do it.

We closed off the service by singing the chorus "Into my heart."

I captured Cliff's second song, "Guess Who" on video. Enjoy.
