God certainly works in mysterious ways, but hey, I'm not complaining! A bus pulled up in our parking lot shortly after 10 yesterday morning (Sunday, June 7). Out stepped 8 people, all members of a family band called "Sloughgrass Family Band" (pronouced slewgrass). http://www.sloughgrass.com/ They are from Birchdale, Minnesota, and are members of Birchdale Congregational UCC. They were traveling south, and wanted to worship at a UCC church. They picked us!!!
We welcomed them warmly and invited them to play for us, which they did beautifully! Besides special music, they played a "postlude" of several songs, ending with "I'll fly away!"
Amazing, astounding, awesome.... I think I need my thesaurus! WOW!
Thanks be to God! Amen!
