Monday Morning Perspective

What an incredible day yesterday in the life of Millbrook.  The high winds and pelting rain couldn't keep Millbrookers away from coming together to celebrate through worship and bible study...what a tremendous crowd as we came back together as one family in one service.  You could sense the excitement and energy from God's people uniting together.  Our students filled The Rock as our missionary shared during our small group time together.  The kids were zoned in on all that he was sharing with them, awesome to experience that.  And what can be said about our worship service...God showed up and showed off in a big way.  It was incredible to see individuals and families flood the front to make their commitments to give and go and pray and then to be able to pray over our students going to mini World Changers.  Goosebumps!!
Huge shout-out to Bill Howard and our music ministry!!!  Our choir was rocking yesterday.  I love seeing their energy, I think some of you were on the verge of dancing and it made me grin ear to ear!! You showed forth the freedom we have in worship and you are leading our congregation in a fabulous way.  Thank you for your commitment and filling so many of those chairs!!  Huge thank you to Bill!!  I love your heart not only for music but ministry and the passion you have for the Lord, it is so evident as it pours forth from you and God is blessing because of it.  Nice to see that you are not performing for us but you are worshipping, what a refreshment!!  So thankful to be able to serve with you and your wife and to be able to witness your hearts firsthand.
I am so thankful for all of the staff God has brought here and each of their wives who are so invested in the ministry.  So thankful for their hard work and loyalty, for their working together as a team and not against one another.  So thankful that we receive so much encouragement when we are all together and there's lots of fun and laughter and sweet fellowship.  Grateful to be able to call each of them friends and Millbrook our family!
