Sunday Recap - Excitement and Energy at Living Word!
Yesterday at Living Word can be summed up with one word, I think: energy. Not in the new-age sense of the word, but just a general excitement around the place. Sunday school kicked off yesterday, and consequently, our normal numbers of people attending picked up. It was so much fun to hear lots of people singing again! Some dear saints led us in worship by doing a medley of choruses and ending with a song I hadn’t ever heard before, but really enjoyed:
- How Majestic is Your Name
- Great and Mighty (our daughter starting bouncing and clapping during this song, she’s starting early!)
- Almighty
- Antiphonal praise (a great echo song I had never heard before) - Wilson mentioned that the word “alleluia” means “praise the Lord” in virtually every language, so when you say (or sing) it, you know how to say “praise the Lord” in almost every language - fun stuff!
After the service we had a fairly busy, but relaxing day due to the fact that I was involved in a retreat and some teaching sessions all weekend (more in that the rest of the week) and my wife played for a wedding on Saturday, causing us to not get much housework done on Saturday in order to rest Sunday. However, we still enjoyed the day thoroughly, with lots of time spent with family.
And the icing on the cake: the Bears won :-) And Matt Forte glorfies Jesus more than himself after playing a record-breaking game as a rookie running back. I have a feeling this is going to be an enjoyable season.
