Joy In Service

I arrived at church this morning to find the commons
ready for the start of Joseph: Journey from Prison to Palace. This is a different application of Vacation Bible School because it will include people of all ages. It was clear on arrival that a lot of energy and preparation had gone into this event already. Later in the morning some of the presenters were in the midst of the congregation between services in costume and the excitement level was huge. You could feel the high energy in the air. When I was in Mattapan at The Church of the Holy Spirit we had a large energetic congregation and I can remember some of the same excitement over activities. Resurrection has a great staff and a large congregation and I love being part of that again. I will be heading back to church in a moment or two to be part of the first night of the program. I know we have a significant preregistration, but I hope we are overwhelmed with the turnout. Our children really do need to see that we adults are as committed to grow in faith as we expect them to be. No area is more important than our understanding of God for our life long learning plans.
