Pastor Sally’s Devotional 10/18

| October 20, 2020

Dear Friends,

I watched “Behind the Scenes” last night on You Tube.  This is the documentary Andy has created showcasing all the work being done by staff and volunteers to produce the Traditional and the Bridge@Home services each Sunday.  If you haven’t seen it yet, I recommend it.  You can find it at: https://youtu.be/FRHcdKsxZqQ

I was actually very interested to see what other people are doing to create our worship services.  We have certainly talked to one another about our processes, but it was interesting to hear the details. 

My husband, Mike, watched it with me.  Mike commented at the end of our viewing on a couple of things I wanted to share with you.  First, he said we had some amazing technical talent in our church.  Andy McCaskey, Matt Kennedy and Tom LeFevre have some wonderful skill with video and audio recording and editing that most churches simply don’t have.  Mike also was stunned at the large number of volunteers, each contributing their bits each week.  Finally he said we had a remarkable cohesion in our production process.  We all get along.  We all help each other.  We all are intent on serving our church with the best of our energies and talents.  My husband mused that he hoped our church understood how fortunate we are to have all of these talented people working cooperatively for the glory of God.  I’m not sure I had quite realized how blessed we are until I heard it on the lips of my husband.

Paul writes, “There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.”  I Corinthians 12: 4-6.  I am very grateful to have been called to work with all of you Spirit filled people in this time and place.

Peace,

Pr. Sally
