This was a very uplifting service for me. We discussed the failures of life and the failures of sin. Each person received a candle when they entered the sanctuary. The candles were brought to the cross; we brought our failures to Jesus. What a powerful image.Sam Sanders
This act in the service was a profound invitation. Mark Shivers, a Ph.D. student at Vanderbilt and a personal friend of mine wrote:
"I am intentional about holistic invitations where our whole mind, heart and body are all involved in conversional acts. I think this connection is important and invitiation at its best gets at this..."

This service was not only uplifting but thought provoking as we searched our hearts and took our failures to the cross and left them there. God's message never changes, but He is such a creative God, and He is able to meet us in so many different ways. How exciting it is for me as Samuel's mom to see him growing in the Lord and using His creative abilities to glorify His Savior and Lord. I see much of his father in him because my husband was always coming up with some new refreshing way to present the old, old story. I am thankful for our church because it has always been a church that is open to change and one where the freedom of worship is evident and people are willing to get out of the box. They are not afraid to try different methods in praise and worship. Our praise and worship team is one of a kind and exalts and lifts boldly and extravagantly the name of Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit. Our new pastor is adding his own freshness to the services.
