HEADING TO THE LAST STRETCH!

Sometimes it feels like the Kentucky Derby around here. We're like a bunch of fine horses out of the chute and running at top speed.  No looking to the right or to the left, taking each turn as tightly as possible, kicking up dirt and passing by in a colorful blur.  Today should be a day of rest...today is our normal day off...but there is more to do to prepare for the wonderful experience we are bringing forth here.  Hard work?!  Maybe, but Joyful is more our theme word as we see the finish line nearing and cannot wait for the moment we all come together in spirit and in song.  Today we gathered the final information for our music program that will go to print next week.  We worked with our Youth and Family Director Karla Hodge to get the young children to perform a service during their classes on Sunday by helping to stuff the goodie bags for the incoming choirs. We corresponded with transportation, hospitality and music leads regarding the finer details...the working behind the scenes that we trust will cause everything to run as smoothly as possible.  There is still much to be done and we give thanks for all those that are giving a part of themselves in service!  This includes the directors and singers from each choir, the coordinators in Santa Cruz and Seattle and Hillside of Atlanta that are pulling the troops together with all details covered on their own end.  God is so Good!  We are blessed! See you in the last stretch!   Please blog back!  We want to read what you have to say!
