Saturday...a day that the disciples spent in darkness...the Light of the World lay dead in a tomb...all hope had been lost...darkness had spread over them...
Praise God that we have the end of the story! We know Sunday is a-comin'!!!!
As we wait in anticipation for celebration of the resurrection, our day was spent once again living in community - the broader community! This morning our church hosted a prayer breakfast for all of the Oregon Area churches. We had about 100 people there, sharing a meal and praying for our community. It was a wonderful time of fellowship and communion.
Rowan was buzzed for the time being as well.
This evening my sister and I headed over to the April Lifeline Community Dinner at the North's house in the Old West End. This was Julie's first experience there!
It was a good night. One of the older gentlemen brought his banjo and played for awhile. For the first time every, an artist came and just sat in the corner painting. The first ever "Jefferson" Award was given out to our friend, Ken Leslie tonight. Gary got up and made a big deal about the Jefferson Award for Public Service, and the group wanting to nominate someone from within who is making a huge difference in our community. However, they missed the deadline. So they decided to give it out anyways. They made the "George Jefferson Award." One of the Lifeline attending is a sculpture for George Caruth. She hand carved George Jefferson's bust. They painted it and put it on a plaque. They made a big deal about it. It was very funny! You'd have to know Ken to know that he absolutely loved it! It was a great moment!
Gary was supposed to read some poetry and more musicians were supposed to come, but we had to get going and leave the party by 9:45. Next month they are going to have a band playing at Food For Thought and then at the Lifeline Dinner. I'm excited!
