Beauty from the ashes

Yesterday at church it took one of you using your incredible talent to remind me of something that I am ashamed that I had forgotten...... the fact that God can take a situation that seems hopeless, full of despair and loss, and fill it with Himself, make all things new, and bring "beauty from the ashes". Wow! Amber's interpretive dance during the worship service was an incredible depiction of the desperation of a woman we are told about in the Bible who had been bleeding for most of her life. This woman knew that if she could somehow touch even the CLOTHES that Jesus was wearing she might be healed, and it was certainly worth the risk of being trampled by the crowd that followed Him to try it. What a beautiful Message!! And what a beautiful messenger!
In case you missed it, here is a shot of Amber's beautiful presentation!
You can also see a quick clip of her dance here:



I was also proud to watch Nick, Hunter, and Parker play their guitars in leading the congregation to worship! And last but not least, Allison did a fantastic job in narrating (along with Mark) the journey on which we have come as a church!! What a great day of worship!!!
