We're doing two Christmas Eve gigs tonight and round one is finished. Over 100 people showed up for our No Rehearsal/Everyone Welcome Christmas Pageant. And then we all crowded around the communion table. It was mildly chaotic and a whole lotta fun.
One little girl told her momma: can we come back here for more? And another young momma said to me, "I have never experienced a church like this before. OMG it was so much fun!" She was stunned... so I smiled and said, "Isn't that part of the blessing of Christmas? Joy?" She gave me a hug and walked off smiling. It was a great first round ~ and now we're about to practice for round two with jazz, traditional carols, folks songs for peace and a sweet new inclusive liturgy by Brian Wren.
More on the flip side...
