It Was All About the Children (Really, It Was All About God)

Yesterday was just one of those perfect Sundays! Yes, I know, I didn't preach. But, WOW! Three incredible testimonies by fourth and fifth graders. I don't believe I could have done what Ian Collins, Grace Shahan, and Alex Weaver did with their sermons on Prayer even when I was in high school -- which wasn't all that long ago. And yes, I know there are those who think I can't do what Ian, Grace, and Alex did even now! Everyone was fantastic -- special music, liturgies, prayers, Adult time, sermons, greeters -- wow, what fantastic greeters -- it was all fantastic. (I like the word "fantastic") Prayer time with our prayer warriors -- what a special time! God was evident and moving in some very exciting ways.

If that wasn't enough ... 250 people showed up for Trunk or Treat that evening! Candy and Creepies everywhere. Chili made by scouts! Games and did I mention candy? Thanks to Tonya and her incredible team. Jill-Marie, our Children's Director -- wow! Marian Lewis -- our Cinemas Leader -- incredible! All the helpers, all the children, all the leaders ...

BIT: If I could bottle that ... well, I'd work for First Farragut for free. NOTE: I can't bottle that! It's all about God -- Ain't God Great?
