Projectors, Birthdays and Kid's Sermons- oh my!

To re-phrase U2's famous lyrics, "Sunday, funny Sunday."
I completely forgot to do the youth sermon- well that's only half right. Betty had volunteered to do it this week and she had a great idea and plan, and then I totally spaced it. Yikes- we still went an hour and 20 minutes (give or take 10 minutes) without it. So we will save that one for another day.
there are just a ton of birthdays for our church in this month. So today we had cakes. Happy B-days go out to: JD, Norm, James, Marjorie, John, Tyler, Bud, Brenda, Verlan, Peggy, Ralph, Kyle, Jim K. and Jeff. There are probably more- if I missed you- sorry. Funny that the shortest month has so many birthdays. If we had every month with that many birthdays we would have about 150 people in our church.
We used a different video projector today, it was a borrowed one. It was much brighter and worked much better. This is good news for us- because the one we have is really old and the one we borrowed isn't much newer- but it was much improved. Meaning that when we actually get our projector we will have one that is much improved. Today we used the borrowed one to project a song with lyrics and music- it seemed to work pretty well. If you were there, I would love to have your feedback.
Well the theme for today is that God is with us- in our darkest pit- and in eternal bliss- but right now we are here on earth to do life as best we can. Being people who love, share, serve and forgive. There were about 85 of us there today in worship. There were many parents and children downstairs this week. Hopefully soon we will have close-circuit TV of the service for the downstairs folks to watch and participate- when we get it I will wave to you.
Have a great week, Corey
