I have a new musical love. (If you saw their pictures, you'd understand why it's a purely musical love.) If only they had produced more than 8 songs and stopped rhyming radio with video...
It's still a week away, but I am counting down the days until the Sunday School puppet show. Absolutely cannot wait for crying little kids standing in front of the church holding puppets and looking lost. They're so adorable when they do that. Another exciting event at my small country church next week- refreshment Sunday. (aka, "Starving kids from the Bo' quickly ambush the tables of cookies and baked goods then leave as quickly as they came Sunday") It's my favorite of Sundays. Well, if not my favorite then at least tied with such memorable days as Communion Sunday and of course, Easter Sunday.
Another one of my favorites during church comes at the end of every Communion Sunday, like today. (Another communion with leavened Wonder Bread, what's up with that anyway?) The entire church stands in a circle and we all hold hands as we sing "Blest Be the Tie That Binds." And there's no fakeness and forced community or inauthentic cheer about it. No one sheds tears or schmoozes about how connected we are. No insincere hugs(I fear those the most). We all know to just gather around, as we do every month, as one body, hands held, and sing about the beauty of fellowship. When you look into the circle you see the entire church, holding together and singing. You see appreciative faces that are genuine and beautiful.
