Last Performance Reviews

Well, I think the final performance wore me out completely. I even asked Kevin Smallwood to fill in for me in the third service so I could rest up before it, but by the time I got home I was ready for bed. Soooo, this update is a little late in getting posted.

Once again we had some very positive comments and only a couple who simply wrote "Bring back the tree" with nothing else and no name on the cards. Maybe we should have announced ahead of time that if your only opinion is that we should bring back the tree, then you can leave your comment with our "Sign-up for helping with next year's program" committee in the foyer.

Here is a sampling of the comments from the Sunday matinee performance:
  • Awesome job everyone.
  • It is very generous of the church and its people to present this play to the community. Thank you so much.
  • Been coming for many year. Very good.
  • Interesting start on a new venture for a "professional" group.
  • What a blessing. Keep telling others about Jesus. Love it!
  • That was great. Some people were saying that they missed the tree, but I thought that this was even more touching and personal which is what the world needs. Keep doing plays, touch more lives.
  • Outstanding. I was proud to worship with you. The acting and music were great. What a wonderful, greedy, aggravating, self-centered Inn Keeper.
I would like to let everyone know just how much I appreciated all of our many volunteers. This was a major undertaking for a church that has had no experience with full-scale dramatical programs. Those who helped with sets, props, decorations, costumes, sound, projection and lighting spent many hours working long before the programs started. Our ticket crew, ushers, counters, parking lot attendants and others spent almost every performance working and many missed out on seeing the program due to their duties. The singers and actors spent months preparing for the program and none of them were able to actually just sit and watch it. All of this was done to honor and glorify God and hopefully allow others to hear the good news in a way that would open their hearts to God. Thank you to everyone who helped.

Dirty Feet

“How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news.” Isaiah 52:7 (NIV) I have never been very comfortable in shoes. It really doesn’t matter whether they have great arch support, ultra extreme amounts of cushioning, or how much they cost. The first thing I do when I arrive home is take off my shoes and stretch my once imprisoned feet by bending them at the arches and wiggling my toes. I then remove my socks and begin to feel my feet relax as the fresh air washes over my tingling, sometimes sweaty, toes. Pretty picture, I know. It must be the right thing to do. A billion Chinese could not be wrong. My mother could not be wrong. After all, she was the one who always told me to, “Take off your dirty shoes before you come in here. I just finished mopping this floor and I don’t want mud tracked all over my clean house.” It became a normal ritual around our house to put the dozen or so shoes away before company was expected. My mother didn’t want dirty f

Pampered and Pacified

Author J.M. Barrie created the character that never wanted to grow up. Peter Pan, also the title of his famous book, did not want to become an adult and be forced to deal with all of the stress and struggles that came with the transformation. So Peter found his way to Neverland where, along with his lost boys, he could remain a carefree child forever. But those who know the story also know that carefree was not all that it promised for villainous Captain Hook constantly lurked around the corners, and then there was that tantalizing Wendy who stole Peter’s heart before he even knew what hit him. Millions of Americans have seemed to follow in the footsteps of Peter Pan. We have become a nation that no longer values the virtues of adulthood: especially responsibility, strong work ethic, self-dependence, selflessness, and community awareness. You don’t have far to look in our American society before you see lost boys, and girls, running around everywhere. Grown men and women who want

Silent Lord's Supper

Image
I planned this service in 1995. ====== Please enter into tonight’s service humbly in silence and meditation. There will be no words spoken, so you need to follow the bulletin closely. We pray that this service will be a meaningful one for you. Come in …be seated …be still for a season …pray …and reflect with us upon the matchless love and grace of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Not a word will be spoken during this entire service. The only sound will be that of the piano as some familiar hymns of Christmas and Calvary are played. “Be silent, O all flesh, before the Lord.” (Zechariah 2:13 KJV) Prelude “Kings of Orient” Removal of the Cloth “What Child Is This” Scripture Meditation “When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’” (John 8:12 NIV) “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people li
