Just like every other church, I was concerned about how the weather would impact Sunday.  Strangely enough, the weather that kept many church doors closed opened up several opportunities for Team Church.

First of all, we took the chance to do an early setup.  On Saturday, many of our regular setup crew showed up and really showed out!  They even came up with a new way to arrange the worship area.  I doubt that we would have considered making such a drastic change on a Sunday morning.  But on Saturday, we felt more at ease to try something new, and it turned out great.  Nothing slows these guys down…you’re beasts!

Secondly, we still showed up at 8am on Sunday, and had lots more time to fellowship, and enjoy a little Bojangles together.  We can always use more time to hang out like that!  I also personally enjoyed getting chauffeured by the awesome Doug in his all-wheel drive.  You are the man even when you don’t have to be.

Finally, worship was incredible.  At first, you may think that only a handful of people would turn out…but we ended up with 66.  Also, several were visiting from other churches that had canceled services.  Man, that’s what it is all about!  What a reminder about the kingdom. We not only got the privilege of serving the folks who call Team Church home, but we got to give a little to the folks who are always busy serving others.  I’m glad to see that it wasn’t just about a day-off for them, but about getting themselves spiritually re-charged.

If you missed out on the service, trust me, it’s okay.  At Team Church, we simply leave it up to you about whether it’s safe for you to make the service or not.  That answer is different for everyone depending on their where they live, roads, kids, and other important factors.  So, even if you couldn’t be there, I hope that you’re proud to be a part of the special things that can happen when we team up.
