We packed up our gear for an outdoor service and picnic at the local park. The weather was perfect and we had one of the smoothest setups ever. We were done with setup and rehearsal 45 minutes before the service started which set the tone for the service.
Pastor Mark and his wife Teresa are taking a well deserved vacation to Hawaii, so Brad covered the sermon this morning. His sermon from Philippians 4:4-9 was a great reminder of the importance of filling our minds with good things, especially the Word of God.
Brian did a great job of leading this morning. His son Liam was on the drums; it was the second time he has played with the team and he did a terrific job this morning. I went ahead and shared a music stand with Brian. No iPad this morning; it would not have worked with the sun behind me. I was missing the larger font sizes I have gotten used to on my iPad. We had excellent participation in the singing. It was great to be outside and visible to our community boldly testifying to our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and singing his praises for all to hear.
