Opening Night Reviews and Such

Well, we finished our first performance. There were a few little mishaps, but nothing major. Everyone did a wonderful job.

Based on the attendance/comment cards turned in: we had three (3) people accept Christ as their Lord and forty (40) plus people rededicate their lives to Christ. We did not have any negative comments. We did have three comments from people who liked the program but wished we would do our Living Christmas Tree again and two comments from people who wanted to hear the Oak Grove Quartet. Guess you cannot please everyone.

Here is a sampling of comments:
  • Tonight's performance was beautifully done and has touched my heart. It has prepared me for the holiday season and is the main reason we celebrate Christmas.
  • I have been to everyone of [your] programs. I have loved every one of them. It was the best show ever. It was awesome. I loved it.
  • Great performance. Enjoyed very much.
  • Wonderful show. Thanks for the blessing. May God continue to bless the ministry here at Oak Grove.
  • Handbells keep raising the bar each year. Appreciated the message of Jesus' birth presented in an enjoyable way.
  • One Bethlehem Night was very touching. I enjoyed the play very much and your cast was fabulous.
  • I enjoyed the new program. I applaud the cast.
  • Oh! What a blessing we received coming to your program.
  • I enjoyed the program. I will try to get here next year and bring more friends.
  • This was the first time I learned about Christ. I was inspired by you and now I'm going to learn more about Christ. It was my third time seeing a play. My family was expecting the Living Christmas Tee, but I thought this was way better. Thank you.

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
