I was at the Life Bridge building with a few team members when someone came to the door looking for Frank. She had a drum part in her hand. Apparently, there was a mix-up when the team led worship for a special even at Town and Country Christian Church for Camp LRCA. When we packed up and came back, a drum part was left behind. (We ended up getting the high-hats to work with duct tape for a couple weeks.) 
Standing there, we started talking about a few coordination things. Now the drums would work better…we have toner for the copying machine…the air conditioning is working better…etc. As we talked, we were reminded of the gifts God keeps showering down upon us. The drum part saved us having to buy a whole new high-hat set. The copier/printer contract is over, saving us $400 per month. The insulation in the ceiling saved us $600 this month and will continue saving us $100 per month from here on out.
Of course, the conversation moved past tasks, projects, and money really fast and started focusing on our relationships with God and people. We (Traci and I) just completed a computer program that allows us to better enter and track Connect Card, Event Attendance, and other involvement information. This will help us make wiser decisions as we plan events, coordinate teams, and shepherd the flock entrusted into our care.
The capstone of our conversation, though, was the reminder that God is working in and through His people every day. We enjoyed sharing with one another a visible reminder of God’s work in our lives: Shannon Uttal and Chuck Hartz were baptized this week. We all paused. God really is good all the time. Go team. Praise God.
