Tonight was the culmination of many hours worth of preparation and sacrifice for many, many volunteers and staff at West Salem Foursquare. We kicked off the Easter weekend with the first 2 of five services. As expected, nerves were raw, stress levels were high and there were glitches in rehearsal and during the live performance. And yet it was still amazing.
Our pastor was on tap, slinging a wonderful message about the relevancy of Jesus yesterday, today and tomorrow. As usual, he blended in some elements of humor and fun to keep things interesting. Tonight, his manner of "extra-cheese" was appreciated, as the church was subject to old school 3-D imagery on our brand new, gorgeous wide screens. Our worship leader led a series of fast paced jams, videos and mash-ups of songs which created an incredibly intimate atmosphere for all involved. By the time the second service rolled around, there were still minor goofs in the presentation (of which I was not immune), but overall the service ran much more smoothly than the first time and the crowds were apparently growing larger.
As I sit and write this blog tonight, I pray that those attending tonight were blessed. Those attending tomorrow are in for a real treat as well.
Good Night
