Reflections From Sunday Evening

I have no idea where to start!

I could note many insights, encouragements, lessons, ideas, challenges, affirmations, instructions -- just from the messages shared by Leonard Sweet.

Three on the cross - one good and two bad and one that became good -- Let the children come!
The greatest song ever sung (Ps. 22).

Thanks to Len for sharing and leaving a part of himself with us.

I could mention the children whose "promotion" we celebrated today - along with teachers, helpers and others. What a blessing to see all the children today (did any of you take pictures you would be willing to share?).

I could mention the music. Choirs, praise team, Nancy and Walter - wow.

We could celebrate five people uniting with our church today.

Captain Nudge was pretty cool!

I'll leave you with this - We are making it part of our Christ-following lifestyle to nudge others to awaken to the God who is already there - working actively and redemptively in the world and in the lives of people. As one and then another discovers our way to nudge others toward Christ we transform our church into a "nudge" church. In the days and years ahead this looks like people discovering a personal relationship with Jesus Christ week in and week out. It means people discovering where God is at work in their life. It means a continual rejoicing as we experience what Jesus is doing in our lives and church each day.

It's been a good day. I hope you've had a good day too.
