Sunday Worship

Remember Last meeting that we had with Pastor John? No, okay well he gave each of us practicum students (Ben, Steve, and I) clipboard and had us write our own worship service the correlated with the theme here at Brook Haven -which is Mission. So we had about fifteen minutes to write down ideas and such; WELL!!! this is the exciting part, Pastor John used several of our ideas in the service Sunday! That make me feel good to know that we have good opinions and we are learning. So I bet bet you are just super excited to hear what idea of mine he used, so I am going to tell you. Call me a little kid but we sang "Jesus Loves the Little Children", that made me happy. Also the congregation did a reading from the hymnal.

That night I went to a Special service for youth and it was amazing, there was dancing and screaming and I could feel the Holy Spirit in the building. I was to there kid of like a leader, I make sure that the youth got there okay and found seats. I was also to help liven up the kids. So I took them to the front and we jump with the rest of the crowd.

It is very encouraging to know that my ideas were used in the service even though it was something as little as a song.

That's really cool that your pastor used some of your ideas! Even if it was just a song! It sounds like you are learning a lot, which is awesome. I think that was a really good idea for the pastor to have you write down ideas like that and then use them in the service. Well, keep up the good work, David!

Thats great that you had a chance to be a part of the service and actually make suggestions and such. I hope that things keep going well for you.
