Whew! What a fun and full weekend…
Friday night I had wedding rehearsal #1, followed by an evening of prayer and worship with some guys around a campfire at a cabin in the woods. The rehearsal was sweet, and the time of P&W was absolutely powerful!
Saturday was wedding #1 (Esli Feliz & Katie Myers), followed by wedding rehearsal #2, topped off by the final production of our high school thespian troupe. The wedding was held by one of the ponds at Harvest Fields, and although it was a little breezy, it was a beautiful ceremony, with lots of old familiar faces in attendance. The Thespians rolled out their Cabaret, a variety show directed by the senior class. Levi and Lilly had a few scenes each, but Levi was a the show-stopper, playing the role of Thisbe from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. He and his buddy Zak brought tears to our eyes. Zak is such a ham, and Levi (of course) wore a dress and played the part of the ill-fated Thisbe hilariously.
Sunday morning found me preaching fo the 8am and 9:30 worship services at Calvary’s building on University Dr. It was fun, and I enjoyed worshiping with those fine folks. I have some really good friends who attend those worship gatherings, and it’s good to catch up with them. If you want to listen to the sermon or watch the video, click here.
Wedding #2 (Phil Martin & Jill Bontrager) happened Sunday afternoon, and it was a doozy. This was the first wedding that I’ve had the privilege of performing for a student who came all the way through our student ministry. Kim was Jill’s small group leader from 7th grade until she graduated from high school. I was a lot more emotional than I thought I would be; when Jill turned the corner to walk down the aisle I almost lost it! We had such a good time at the wedding, seeing all the former youth group students as well as the folks from PSU we’ve come to love over the past few years.
Wow, that’s a lot…and I haven’t even told you about Memorial Day. I’ll save that for tomorrow.
