Death. It’s a subject that no one wants to talk about, and yet death is something that we will all face sooner or later. Pastor told us this morning that he checked, and the mortality rate on the planet is still 100%. We all will die…sometime.
This morning was the first of a 2-part message on seeking comfort in death, and our focus was on being ready for death. When we are not prepared to die (whether it’s immanent or not), we react in 5 stages (in order):
- Denial
- Anger
- Bargaining
- Depression
- Acceptance
Pastor also told us how to get prepared for death, and that comes through a relationship with Jesus Christ. If you need the answer to that question, leave me a comment below, and I’ll walk you through it! On to the production notes!
Saturday, 7/11 – 7:00pm:
- I was in PA this Saturday to celebrate my grandmother’s 90th birthday. We had a great party – open house style with a buffet lunch – and there were probably over 100 people there. Lot’s of family…most I didn’t know!
- Matt led with Elisa and Tom from the stage. Let me know how it worked out! I heard that “Forever” added some comic relief to the night.
Sunday, 7/12 – 11:15am:
- Fun to watch the kids try to figure out how to get around the empty band platform for the children’s message. Sue did a great job as always.
- I am a prayer partner for one of the youth going to workcamp this week and it was great to pray for him during the service.
- We had a friend from college visiting with her family this morning. Great to see them and I’m really grateful for their patience as we ran around after the service getting ready for VBS!
- Stage was set up for VBS this coming week. So, we decided to put the band on it for services. Partially it was just to have some fun, but sitting behind the main speakers amidst the fabric backdrop has some technical advantages from a sound standpoint. What did you think? How was the sound, the look, the feel… ?
