Well....I'm in my office (very early this morning) before our slew of Christmas Eve services and I find myself praying for all my Worship Pastor and Senior Pastor friends out there who are sacrificing there Christmas eves at home with there families to minister and serve their congregations. I pray that all your tech issues would go smoothly, all your teams be healthy, that you would have much stamina and energy throughout all of your services, and that God's Spirit would consume your church and it's people today bringing many people to a saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus (I'm also praying that for Coast Hills). To God be the glory for the great things He is going to do today within our services.

Well they must be good prayers you're praying, because they worked. Maybe it's that good God you're praying to.
Two services tonight, pretty traditional carols and lessons working up to turning off all the lights and everyone lighting their candles from the central "Jesus candle". Amazing to see over 800 individual candles stretching back out of the tent and into the darkness beyond. "You are the light of the world". Cool.
