What is normal?

Here are a couple pics from yesterday's service.

They brought all the kids out on stage for two songs. The great part? They did not sing.......instead they did some dancing......that appeared to be choreographed. The little little little kids looked like deer in headlights......it was priceless! The best part? These kids will think this is a 'normal' church. (Perry said that we are spending more on the new youth areas than they did to build our main building/sanctuary). What rocks? Resources are being poured into children's ministry!!!!!!

Here is what the tree and presents looked like (with one service to go!). It is amazing that SO MANY kids will have SOMETHING under their tree.

So as I was sitting waiting for the service to start I noticed mr. telephoto lens walking around....snapping away. He took a hundred pics during the service (11:15).

Yet again Perry was on point. My favorite? "There is usually temporary pain for longterm gain".

P.S. How awesome is it to consider your church of over 9,000 normal?
