Whew! What a Day!

Those of us who made the five services this last Sunday are all saying this in unison. There are definite advantages to doing five services. The main one being "it just keeps gettin' better and better" (is this an old Gaither song?). The orchestra gets tighter and the choir gets looser--how good is that? Kenn Sanders (wife Sharon plays sax in the orchestra) said after the last service that we opened a can of worms because his keen radar detected that the Sunday night crowd enjoyed the choir and orchestra. I guess they've never had the curtain open on a Sunday night so it was like walking into "a whole new world" (Disney song from Aladdin). Imagine that! Seriously, aside from my house being trashed, it really was an exhilerating day. It began a little frantically but as the songs become more familiar it got a lot more fun and a lot less scary. Scott WB said we all spent first service looking around at each other to make sure we were in the right place at the right time. Did anyone else have a good time worshiping 7 hours in one day? Many thanks to everyone who gave their day to ministry and leading others in celebration. It was well worth the sacrifice. Oh, and the best part-- I stayed away so long my family had the house cleaned up by the time I got home!
