Easter day started out cold but clear for the Sunrise Service and then continued to improve for much of the day. This year I didn't preach/teach in any of the services but rather did a short Object Lesson to help kids (and adults) connect with the theme of the service. I must admit that it was a bit different but not a bad different not to be primarily in charge of one of the services. Russ and Shannon both did a great job in the sanctuary and in HEbrews Joe. It is great to be a part of a team that can really carry the message in powerful ways no matter who is leading.
I went ahead and led the Sunrise Service as I had less duties for the rest of the day. For the service I went through the Gospels and collected all the "Why" questions that Jesus asked. As I read through them and pondered their implications I was struck by how much I needed to really spend some time answering those questions for myself. So in the coming days we just might visit some of those questions for some self-analysis.
But today I'll just take a deep breath and get ready for another week that promises to be as full as last week. (Sermon to prepare, 2 weddings with rehearsals, and all the usual stuff that happens each week.)
