As Lent continues, a greater opportunity to collaborate becomes available. This year on Palm Sunday, we will create a celebration with a 4 octave handbell choir, trumpet, choir and praise band for two Sunday services. On Maundy Thursday, a beautiful, quiet Tenebrae service with strings, horn and flute is planned. This season of introspective thinking always renews my heart for the Great Commission and a broader perspective about worship. We have 7 weeks to make deeper commitments to both our God and ourselves that will impact the Kingdom. We are given a period of freedom to explore the costs of deeper surrender and greater services. Every year I give in to the flow of Lent and every year I am blessed with God's presence and gift. Each year I relinquish the "I can do it by myself" attitude and open my mind to different sounds of celebration... like a 4 octave handbell choir with praise band. May God bless your journey this Lenten season.
