Sometimes there are just those moments. Moments of corporate worship where it’s just THICK and every wall is down and God is doing some serious work. TeenRock on February 10, 2009 with Austin leading and Jeff Mangum preaching on “Chasing Donkeys and Herding Sheep.” TeenRock on February 28, 2010 with me and Austin.
Truth is, I just can’t shake those outstanding memories sometimes and not that we ever find ourselves chasing those “high’s” but I just know that someday I’ll look back on those sweet times of worship and just marvel at God’s divine favor on me.
Tonight was one of those nights. Complete with crowd-surfing and what can only be described as a well-choreographed-impromptu conga line ACROSS the stage DURING the worship set. As Sean Miller (one of the directors of Total City Sports Camp) put it - “Controlled Chaos.” Don’t tell the kids, but I would have allowed “Complete Chaos.” That’s how crazy tonight was.
Hooray For Love www.hoorayforlove.net was in town, and I’m not going to try to explain their type of music. You’ll have to just check them out yourself.
Quick note on Hooray For Love, I had a conversation with Izzy (one of our production interns) and hinted that I may have overhyped the band. I was wrong. They exceeded every expectation. Great guys. Wonderful musicians. Lovers of Jesus.
All in all, I feel like we’re exactly where we need to be and moving to Reagan was absolutely the right move. I’m crazy about these kids and I’m absolutely floored by our volunteers as well as the coaches at Total City Sports Camp.
It’s gonna be a great summer. Austin’s back next week. The party continues.
