Spring 2010 Big Day



(Pictured above: Christina Medford, 11th grade)
It's here and gone!  The Big Day!  It's almost midnight and I'm sitting here remembering the great and full day that has passed.  It started with rehearsals before Sunday School.  Then the Big Day of the campaign for the 11th and 12th grade Sunday school class.  We handed out prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place and then each lady with perfect attendance was given a bracelet.  Our lesson was "Our God is Right about the Treatment of Others."  That is a great one for teen ladies and us adults, too!
After Sunday School there was another rehearsal, choir rehearsal, and then the morning service.
Voice of Triumph sang "In Majesty He Will Come" and Mrs. Kelly Gray sang "Jesus is Precious."  Tonight, Strength and Beauty Ensemble sang "Old Time Meeting" and "The Secret Place."  Bro. Joe Koenig played a guitar solo - "I'm Going Home" - beautiful!!!   I know that the musicians make things look easy, but it is not and I appreciate all of the hard work and study the members put into it.
Not only did we have a great day of music, but there were a lot of people saved and baptized.  Pastor preached on "It is Happening to Everyone" and "Yea, yea, Nay, Nay".    Flip Smiley also made a guest appearance for the game show - what fun!!!
We may have a tendency to take a great church for granted, or to nit-pick at flaws, but I'm choosing to look at the whole picture.  People were helped, God was glorified, and I got to be there!
