Hi Y'all!
Blessings in Jesus' Name!
We spend most of the day working at one of Hoboken Grace's (HG) offices painting a room and laying carpet. The room is used for the worship team rehearsal and for storage. It was formerly a garage. John and Ashton did most of the painting. Ryan and Fred sorted tools and other materials and Roger built a large wood dolly for moving the portable baptistries. Fred spent a little time at the other office toward the end of the day shredding old financial records until the shredder broke. See pics below.
After dinner, we helped set up for the monthly Friday night worship time in an old school gym. The HG team is very well organized and the set-up went smoothly. Then we attended the worship time. It was very well attended, with most of the seats filled and some folks, mostly HG staff, standing. It praise time is a lot like our Edge service, with the exception that Pastor Chris encourages the folks to get up and visit the various "centers" set up on the periphery of the worship space as they felt led anytime during the service, including the message time. There were four of these "centers": one for scripture reading, one for prayer, one for reading the stories of others or writing and posting your own and one for personal reflection on how you see yourself and how God sees you. The prayer and scripture reading centers were not well used, but the other two were.
After the service, our team stayed to wash the removable carpet. That took us till midnight!
