Sunday Nite (on a Tuesday Morning)

Sorry for being so late on this one. We had a pretty amazing Sunday at Hyde Park this week! Those of you who read me but aren't HP attenders must be like, "he's always saying that" - if you aren't a Hyde Park attender I just don't know how to express what Sunday is like here!

This will be short but here's what last weekend looked like:

• Our guest speaker for the weekend was Jonathan Lotz. Jonathan is the son of Danny and Ann Graham Lotz . Jonathan is such a humble (and tall - 6'9") guy who brought a really great word that resonated with our people Sunday. It was obvious that the Lord was using him mightily Sunday morning.
• I just gotta say, I am a HUGE FAN of Jon's mom. His grandad, Billy Graham, may have preached the gospel to over 220 million people, but I believe his mother is the best preacher in the family!!!
• I had the privilege of hearing some stories about stuff going on with them - God is at work!
• I also had the privilege of baptizing 3 people Sunday morning - "Yes, I have trusted Jesus as the forgiver of my sin and the leader of my life". YES!!!
• Worship was sweet yesterday. I love when God's people just cry out to Him and allow me to lead them there. The song "Your Name" continues to affect me in a powerful way.
• Sunday's Worship: "Blessed Be Your Name" (Matt Redman), At Calvary (G3 Worship Arrangement), "Your Name" (Paul Baloche), "Just As I Am" (Michael Neale arrangement). Great stuff.
• I told Jonathan, "you are SUCH a rockstar!". You should have seen all the people standing in line waiting to talk to him at the end of the service. He has a great sense of humor and decided not to smash little ol' me after my smart comment  (and no, it wasn't coffee that stunted my growth - I believe that would be the genes ).

In closing, I felt like the Lord was really moving at the end of the service. Good to see people allowing God to deal with the issues of their lives.

Love, love, love Your Name. That song is legit.
