"Awww..." Do you recognize that sound? That my dear readers is a sigh of sweet relief. In any situation this sound represents the relief of exhaustion. Today I found myself making this sound more than ever, as I stepped on to our new campus at Prescott College.
The PC Crossroads has welcomed us with open arms and boy did we come in with a full bear hug at the sight from our first service on March 10th. With over 75 people attending this service, the Discovery Leadership Team couldn't help but bubble about the campus with excitement. The team of Ushers lead by salsa making master, Kirk Sawer, sprung into action with directional signs, church bulletins, and collection envelopes at each corner. The welcome tent set up without a hitch, perfectly stocked with information pamphlets, waterproof bibles, and, of course, piping hot Starbucks coffee to get our joints oiled. With each Discovery attendee buzzing around the campus in their best 'Sunday Service' get up, PC never looked so good.
The morning grew closer to take part in worship and take our seats to soak in Pastor Steve's sermon. Pastor Steve never seizes to amaze me with his direct knowledge of the truth and his approach of preaching it. These next few services will be part of his series called, "It's All in the Salsa" which he opened with telling the meaning of
salsa, other than it being a delicious Mexican food component. Now, we all know Pastor Steve LOVES salsa, but he compared what God had in mind for his church to salsa. A blend of taste savvy ingredients to create a mouth watering, delectable dip. And that is what God's church is suppose to be...a blend of interesting, no, beautifully unique individuals to create a place of love and worship to Him. Alone we can pray, we can connect with God, we can dive into everyday devotionals with Him, but with a surplus of people we become the body for Christ. We are able to create a welcoming home of worship and praise that keeps adding more and more ingredients to spicen the flavor or liven the color, resulting in the the most divine dipping experience a church has ever become.
Now, am I talking about salsa or Discovery Church? Both. On the 10th we had 15 people come to Christ and his past Sunday we had a salsa bar after service in the court yard to fellowship with one another and experience the cooking secrets of Kirk Sawer, so you tell me... is it, really,
all in the salsa?
