nice surprise.....

Last week our pastor told us that there would be a big surprise for those who came to the 9:15 service the following week. I had actually forgotten all about it.

The worship band and singers came out, did a couple of songs and then left the stage. I thought that was a little odd, but sometimes they mix the service order up and Rick preaches earlier. Then he called a couple up on stage who was celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. The Smiths are long-time members and have served in several different capacities over the years. So the pastor says they have flowers for them and asks for the "flower guy" to bring them out. It was the Smiths' son - Michael W. Smith. After giving his mom the flowers and hugging both parents, Michael led us in worship. (You can see/listen to it here [under video, 1-14-07]. The video's in 2 parts; it's about 5 minutes into the second part.)

Nice surprise for those of us in attendance.....
