Holiday Sundays are not always the best conditions for worship, we tend to sing songs that are "seasonal" and don't naturally lend themselves to worshipping God. Add to that the extra elements that take place and you loose time in the service that would normally be given to singing. This past Christmas Sunday was no different.
That said, we actually had a pretty good worship service.
The kids started the service and did a fantastic job, it's always fun to have them on stage, moms, dads and grandparents love to see their little ones up there. Great job Bonita getting them ready!
We did a couple Christmas songs and that left us with only two songs for worship, Everlasting God and Rescue (first time we've introduced this song on a Sunday). Some songs make an immediate connection with the church, some don't. I felt that Rescue may not have made that immediate connection, but at the same time, I'm confident this one may become one of the church favorites...incredible song, incredible message!
A Very Encouraging Comment
After our service was over, I received a very, very positive and encouraging comment from a gentleman that has attended Mesa First for many, many years...we'll call him Bob. His first wife went to be with Jesus several years ago and he has recently remarried, as a result he is attending church with his new wife and is no longer with us at Mesa First. He attended this past Sunday (his son and family still attend Mesa First) and he told me that he's been all around the country as well as many churches around the valley and he thinks that our worship is, "the best there is!" He was very appreciative of our sound and the mix we have!
I just thought that was worth sharing, great job team!!!!
