Sunday was a great experience for me as I already mentioned. The band did great, and one of the reasons that we're moving this way is so that I can care for people better. That's what much of Pastoring is about. However, with responsibilities that have me rehearsing before service I usually have little time to actually talk with people outside of the service.
Sunday I had all the time in the world. I sat down among a group of SRCers and started talking and Terri's eyes got big. She said, "I think this is the first time I've ever seen you sit down at church. You're usually headed somewhere or other." Then she jumped up and fixed me a cup of coffee. I'm not sure what it meant to them, if anything, but it was very meaningful to me. Jesus had a habit of walking through crowds slowly. Me not so much. I'm intentionally trying to find ways to slow my pace, and just be with people. Most people show up to SRC about 5 minutes before service starts, but I want to invite you to come a little earlier, have a muffin (Corrinne's been doing a great job with that) and hang out with me and a great group of friends at SRC. See you Sunday.
