Sanctuary had its first ever TENT SERVICE. Amazing! It went great. I loved it.
What I am most grateful for is the wonderful Sanctuary family that makes Sanctuary
happen. We have such great volunteers who put their hands to the plow and never
look back – thank you!
A few things I learned after doing the TENT SERVICE:
1. YOU CANNOT DO IT ALONE. Its all about teamwork. Our team was awesome – no
egos, just humble servants wanting to serve Jesus. It made the whole experience
non-stressful.
I think few things are more beautiful to God than seeing His people serve and work
together in a united team.
2. A DO WHATEVER IT TAKES ATTITUDE. We had to throw together a new plan for
the service on very short notice when we found out we did not have a building…
late Wed. afternoon… so we had to hustle FAST!
We had a team of people working IN THE DARK Saturday night
with flashlights for around 3 hours hauling chairs into the tent.
3. GOD DIRECTS US WHEN WE ARE OPEN TO HIS LEADING. We needed help
in sorting out many decisions about the TENT and how to do a tent service on short notice.
“I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs
you in the way you should go.” Isaiah 48:17b, NIV
I am very thankful for the Sanctuary family! We do life together as co-laborers.
We are all called into this great work, but none of us can do it alone. God designed
us to need each other.
God has given each of us a gift, a unique calling. He has placed each of us in
His church with a divine purpose. He created us to do church as a team!
