This morning I had the opportunity to preach in “big church”. This happens about twice a year and I really enjoy it. I enjoy it all except for leaving kids church for the day. This morning I greeted the kids, helped lead the first song, and then stepped away from the plate.
God has answered a HUGE prayer request this fall. He has given me a worship leader. Katie Singer (yes her last name is Singer) is doing an awesome job leading worship, adding choreography, and the whole nine yards. She has a ton of energy and the kids love her. Katie graduated from Bible Institute last year and is preparing to do children’s worship ministry on the road.
Evan Doyle (17-year-old and author on this blog) played the part of Pastor Ryan and ran the show. Everyone said he did great.
My senior pastor preached to the kids. We switched places for the day which is something we hope to do more often.
Overall it was a sweet day. The sweetest part of the morning was not preaching both services in big church. It was watching two young people that I invested time into hit a home run when I stepped back from the plate. Great job guys!
Hey, thanks. It was really a lot of fun. At the same time I wish I could have heard your sermon ;).
That, and you gave me a advance in age a month early. My birthday is January 31.
KC was a ton of fun! We should get rid of you more often! (we really do miss you though. We need you!)
what i loved was that at the end of both services, the kc was cleaner then it was before we arrived:) (praise God for a pastor who is a clean freak:) i am happy to report that i did not see one piece of lint on the carpet afterwards! lol.
