What a wonderful time of worship we had yesterday on the Lord's Day. The Holy Spirit was present among us. It was good to sing, worship, pray, read God's Word and take part in the Lord's Supper with the body of Christ.

It was a busy day for sure. Our S4 children's ministry kicked-off with 160 students! At one point as the children were moving from station to station there was a line of kids from the office building area, through the old fellowship hall, all the way to the Family Life Center! What a blessing to be part of such a great body of believers and to see their children learning to know, love and revere the Lord.

I arrived at church around 6:45am to make some final preparations for worship, preaching and S4. Worship team practice began at 7:45am. We were learning a new song which we all sang yesterday "Here is Our King." At 8:25 I had to make my way over to the S4 staff. I really believed that we would cut Here is Our King from the worship order. It didn't sound so good.

I prayed with the S4 staff from 8:30am to about 8:50am. Met with the elders at 9am to go over our details for the Lord's Supper. Preached, talked with many of you, preached, talked with many of you and went to Maryland to enjoy some recreational paintball with some students and members of the church.

I came home by 7:30pm and was completely beat. I am resting with my family today. Even in the midst of all the business, yesterday was a true blessing for me. To start the day off by worshipping amd singing, to preach God's Word and take the Lord's Supper with the Church and to end the day with fellowship with like-minded believers was such an exciting time.

I thank the Lord every day for the position he has given to me. I will pray for you this week as a body that the Lord would give each of you opportunities to be reformissional. We have a mission in the midst of all of our business. We are sent as Christ was sent, too all peoples without preferences, to bring the message of repentance and forgiveness as the witnesses to the ministry and work of Jesus Christ. May God's blessing be on you this week as you labor for the kingdom of God.
