Favorite Re-Think Church Moments!

Last Sunday was an awesome day! It may have been overcast in the skies above, but our hearts and hands were not clouded at all! Below are some of my most precious ReThink Sunday moments.

My heart was reminded how BIG the LOVE of God is. My soul was reminded how joyous it is when people come together for a common purpose of compassion, service and love. And my song was reminded that harmony can only be achieved when we set our sights beyond ourselves!

Which begs the question, what was your favorite Rethink Sunday moment?

• receiving surprised, delighted emails and phone calls from Brownsburg and Hendricks County leaders who were truly touched by our intention around Rethink Sunday! They needed our prayers and were so grateful to receive them.
• riding on a charter bus for four hours of prayer with some of my favorite praying people!
• listening to our teens, adults and children pray out loud for firefighters, schools, women who experience violence, town leaders, the hungry, the poor, for families... wow- we have folks at Calvary who know how to pray! Awe-inspiring!
• meeting a man in his neighborhood who asked me as I jumped off the bus for a photo, "Lady, are you lost?" And hearing myself respond, "No, sir I have been found because I am from Calvary UM church and we are in your neighborhood this morning to pray for you."
• passing ourselves throughout Brownsburg! It was awesome to be on the bus all morning and seeing other Calvary folks on the other Rethink charter bus at two different nursing homes to make music, OR working at Elsie's house on Green Street, OR planting flowers at Arbuckle Acres, OR along Main street in town picking up trash! How cool was that to 'pass ourselves in mission, outreach, service and prayer!'

Thanks everyone- (staff, lay leaders etc) for a fantastic first glimpse of Rethink Church! See you next year, but let's not wait on that. Let's BE and DO church every day between now and then!
