Call me doubting Thomas but I just wanted sure how our inaugural screen on the green would be. I thought it was a great idea. But I was concerned about weather. And I was concerned about whether people would come or not. We pulled up at 7:25 PM and there were no parking spots. Lora said it best: "it was a smashing success." Most of the people there I didn't recognize. It was so cool to see so many people having so much fun. What a blast. Note to self: don't wear shorts and sandals with no socks when it's going to drop into the 50's. But even the cold winds at the end were fun because we bundled under our blankets. I love the creative ways we bless the communities we serve. Go outreach ministry and children's ministry! As a parent, thanks for blessing us again! And thanks to everyone who held signs and served popcorn and ran media! We didn't "roll credits" at the end, but thanks for serving so faithfully and joyfully!
