It's Easter Sunday. I'm in my favorite chair, satisfied from a tasty brunch and a great day of worship. I had easy tasks today--greeting people and signaling Kristin when the sermon was almost over so she could wrap up the Praise Party for the young kids during Nativity's three Easter Masses this morning. While my feet are worse for the wear, my spirit is lifted from watching amazing ministers in action, listening to moving worship music, and being fed by a great message.
To those ministers who read my blog (all three of you), I want to thank some Nativity ministers in particular. First, all Nativity ministers serving this weekend did a great job. I have a "thank you" list brewing in my mind, but for now, I want to say a quick but heartfelt thank you to all who served!
In particular, I want to thank those who served during Easter Vigil. You made this celebration so special for the newly baptized and confirmed. It was really a beautiful Mass, well executed from start to finish. I give a big thanks to Brian Crook, donning sacristan garb for old time's sake while still running the operations end of the event flawlessly. I was the recipient of undeserved praise for the beauty of the Vigil Mass, so I want to pass that along to Brian and his ministers. Brian's mom, Sharon, made the stoles for the newly baptized; as with all of Sharon's needlework, the craftsmanship was elegant and beautiful. Mary Lou Toohey and her crew put together a lovely reception for the newly initiated and their guests after the Vigil Mass. It was a great finale to a great evening. Thank you!
One amazing minister, a jack of all trades AND a master of many, who served at every Mass this weekend (you know who you are), jokingly promised me that he would enter the Church next Easter Vigil. I'm holding you to it!
As I come down from the Easter Sunday (and caffeine) high, I feel blessed to be a part of such a Christ centered church.
Nap time.
