Just got back from loading in at SPC for BridgePointe Church where I met several others at 6 AM to unload the huge truck which carries all of our necessary equipment for the band, cafe, kidspoint and info desk in huge roll in cases. That takes about and hour and half just to get the college ready with our signs, computers, literature etc not including the auditorium where band members, production team with their special electronic equipment for the sound and lights, yeow a well oiled machine with tons of volunteers(enough for most small churches with just the volunteers in attendance) to help folks get closer to GOD. I look forward to the camaraderie each week with this event of just loading in.
Nancy helps with both services at the info booth or greetings as do I and we do usually get to sit in on one of the services. I'm now not loading out and leave after the second service but it's a fun filled morning as we greet and assist hopefully with making a difference in someone life with some many other dedicated folks. I will miss this event when we finally get a building where we can leave our equipment weekly.
Saturday was another busy day that started with my usual 6'ish rollout despite no pickle ball. We had to be at Ava's school for her first basketball game and she made 3 or 4 baskets and played quite well. Several of her school mates attend our church as well and it was like old home week. We were there until lunch time then headed home after a stop at Wal-Mart which is close o the school for some last minutes items. We were having Bobby and Amy's families to celebrate Bobby's birthday as well as Valentine's Day. Nancy's sister Betsy and husband Gus came as well.
I got in some garden work after lunch while Nancy spent the day in the kitchen making two kinds of lasagna, a garden salad and garlic bread as well as peach and blackberry cobbler. Wow what a feed that was and she made so much we will be eating that leftover as well as sending large containers home with each family. The kiddo were fueled by Valentine candy and they were a whirlwind especially when all 5 get together. It was a grand time with family and I was whupped by the time we cleaned up the dishes, vacuumed and put the house back in order. I hit the showers then watched the Lightning beating the LA Kings in hockey for the first two periods.
Take time today and thank our GOD for all the blessings in a corporate worship setting. If not check out our service on line at BridgePoint Church in St.Petersburg, LATER
