Bugs Still Buzzin' right along!

This weekend, Sherry narrated and directed a great bug drama about the power of words to hurt and heal. Johnny Johnson and Sammy Petersen did a great job as the "yuck bugs" who say mean words and learned how much they can hurt when they're on the receiving end. Kelly Geisel was the beautiful "Utterfly" who pops in to show them the power of healing words of encouragement. It's already sparked great conversation between Lauren and I. Thanks, team for giving of your time and talent to help raise the future generation by teaching them Godly principles. It makes a difference!

Bugzzzzz R Off 2 a great start!

Sierra, Cayla, and Jake kicked off the first of six bug dramas in the Penguin Room this weekend under the direction of Dalene. This is going to be an awesome summer of crazy bugs, and it started off with a bang! Great job, team!

Small Parts

Baptism in India 2009 from Gene Ort on Vimeo.

There's a saying in the Theatre "There are no small parts; only small actors." Watching this video of baptisms in India humbles me. The excellent art we produce as a team helps to compel people to give to the cause of furthuring God's kingdom in India. Our tithes, our time, our talents, are small parts in the big things God is doing. What a privilege!

Behind the Scenes

Four Words from Granger Community on Vimeo.

Paul, Dave, Greg, Shelley, Marlene and unbelievable job in the first wed. media about the four word: take, bless, break and give. Unfortunately, I don't have any cool snapshots of them in action, but I do have some fun shots of a couple of weeks ago when a few cool ladies and their daughters took some time to hang out with Lauren and I to make the wall! I love those behind the scenes people just as much, don't you? Thanks to Sarah, Madison, Michelle, Maddie, Whitney, Belle, Dalene, Dawn, Breanna, Theresa, Lexi, Lauren and the countless number of people who contributed to this awesome project! What a cool illustration of the beautiful mosaic of the church both in product and in process! Way to go, team!
