A local high school youth choir (the Agape Singers) did worship for us today, so all Jon and I had to do was usher. (Now I have done every church role but celebrate the Eucharist, and that’s only because I’m not ordained and ergo not allowed to do it.) I hadn’t gotten to sleep until 3 am last night and had been forced to be somewhat sociable for the health fair before the service, so I really enjoyed being able to just listen. The kids did a fantastic job and it was wonderful to see 60 high schoolers who were on fire for the Lord. My favorite part was probably the Sunday School songs they did — some I knew and some I didn’t. The Kyrie they sang was also beautiful — and one I sang 11 years ago in my middle school’s Concert Choir! (Talk about a strange coincedence — I’ve had that piece in my head lately.)
The health fair went pretty well. I’d had some bloodwork done last week and wasn’t feeling like fasting, so I skipped all the blood tests. I was in charge of the worship walk — kind of like a cake walk but with juice boxes as prizes and some of my MP3’s instead of sappy kids’ music. I also got a neck and back massage — a very GOOOOOOD thing.
