Today, I had a few moments to think about Thankfulness before my feet hit the floor and my 90 MPH preparation for advent began, and the thing that came to mind is volunteers, or more specifically, those who serve in aCross Generations Worship arts. We have the best volunteers! They give up early mornings and late late nights joyfully to serve in a church where we can't set up the worship space until late Thursday Night, and we often have to be broken down directly after the 10:30 service on Sunday-
Because of the 7:30 am Sunday morning service- volunteers begin arriving at 6:30am to rehearse and prepare, the chair set up team has already set up over 850chairs, and all of these volunteers are joyful in their service. There are altar prayer partners, baptismal teams, deaf ministry, communion servers, ushers, artists, musicians, and chair set-up, not to mention the tech booth, live video operators. I am so blessed to be able to work and serve with such an amazing team so dedicated to the service of Our Lord- so, on this Thanksgiving day, I want to thank everyone on the team! You are all amazingly....FANNNNNTASTC!!!!!
