Well Sunday was a fantastic day at BridgePoint Church as we worked one service then sat in on the second where we heard a super message. Afterwards we had the Botbyl's for leftovers and then I vegetated on the couch with the Ray's who lost in the last inning and then with the Lightning who won this best of 7 games against the Bruins to advance to the semi's in the road to the Stanley Cup. We took off for SFBC to watch the church youth program which featured Ava in the leading role as well as several small parts with Sam. It was quite a production with the program using the old movie theme back to the future in a time machine but in this case it was back to the cross.
The day started for me with a 5'ish roll out to head over to the college on my bike to help with the load in for BridgePoint. I was back to the house by 7:30 to get ready to head back by 8:30 to serve with the First Impressions Team where this week I was a front door holder for the first service. I love greeting, shaking hands and giving hugs while keeping the door open for the folks. I'm used where ever they need me as each week there is a sign up sheet which probably has close to 40-50 volunteers for each service. We mostly serve one service then set in on the next but have got away from helping to load out around 12:30'ish.
We had a few missing folks this week in each service for some reason and our attendance was down a few families but I still noticed several new families with kids. Our Kidspoint group does a great job with their presentations and the youngsters run to the area where they check in before heading off to the class rooms. Pastor Tim started a new 4 week series on Messed Up which means we all have fallen short and only Christ can make it right with the Father as he came to shoulder our messes or sins. Awesome message to say the least.
We along with Dan and Carol settled down to clean up the leftover shepherds pie along with a fresh salad most of which came from the garden. The lettuces are gone but with some kale, beet greens, Chinese cabbage and tomatoes from the garden; we supplemented with store bought Bibb lettuce we feasted. That held us until 8'ish when I popped corn the old fashion way which was awesome when popped using olive oil. We got back to the house from the program before 8 and so I set the sprinkler on the front yards until it was close to bedtime. There was the threat of rain with dark clouds but nothing fell to the earth in our area, LATER
