Today was “Back to School Sunday” at Anchor. The worship team did nothing but children’s songs–“Give Me Oil in My Lamp,” “The B-I-B-L-E,” “The Lord’s Army,” “Zacchaeus,” and “Father Abraham.” What a blast watching the adults do the motions!
Tim preached sitting on the platform with kids around him. He used a tree as the metaphor, and his message concluded with everyone going outside to plant a tree between the church and the youth center building. He let the kids plant the trees. Then the kids went to the door of the youth center (which is just a house we bought) for a bag of school supplies.
We did that in each service. It was fun and different. But I’ll be ready to do some rocking next week.
