Family Sunday

(Note: This took so long to post because it took me forever to figure out how to make the file small enough for it to load. I don't have similar excuses for other posts. Just this one.)

Back in February we enjoyed "Family Sunday" at church - which basically means Sunday School was cancelled for the day, everyone remained together and all the activities either included youth participation or were directed at a more multi-generational audience. It was essentially family-integrated church and exactly what this lady thinks Church should always be.

Pastor Vincent asked me to do another dance for the service. Originally, dancers who spanned the ages were going to participate, but as it turned out, it was just me and the girls. But it was a beautiful song, a beautiful message and a joy to do regardless. I think Vivi and I will miss this when we leave.

  1. Thanks! It's Jars of Clay. It is a favorite of David's and mine.

  2. Did anyone provide them with a French translation as I think it would add to their appreciation of the dance? Is that what you were doing at the end?

  3. Right before we danced, Pastor Vincent read the lyrics to everyone. We handed out hearts with "Love one another" from John, but in French of course.
