Last three nights we joined several other churches for joint community services. What a blast. I learned some lessons from this I did not see coming:

1. It is cool meeting your 4th grade teacher again - she is still just as nice and still teaching 4th grade.
2. You can have a hand bell choir, a mass, multidenominational singing choir, a worship band, hymns, a drum line, responsive reading, high church, medium church, traditional church, comtemporary church and 3 sermons from 3 pastors from 3 denominations and it was all good - very good!
3. Chocolate chip cookies will bring people together - I suspect they will exist throughout eternity! World without end...Amen.
4. All people, all tribes, all tongues can love and worship God together and pray for the salvation of their city - and I think it thrills the heart of God.

Worshipping together the way we did the past few days is a prophesy of Heaven. Somehow I do not think we'll be separated by much, if anything, when we get there. Cool.

Have a good one...
