The good folk at Internally Sound (Phil, Mark and crew) have been busy the past couple of weeks pulling cables, hanging speakers (no .. not 'stringing up' the guys who have preached .. the other kind of speakers) and setting up mics.
That's right. We are finally getting a new sound system at First Baptist Church in Humboldt.
This "priority" (named so well over three years ago) has been bumped several times to take care of less important items .. like leaky roofs and broken air units (come on, people .. a little water and sweat never hurt anybody).
However, a few months ago after much prayer .. "And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed" - Genesis 37:6 .. and discussion .. "And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day" - Deuteronomy 11:28a .. the sound and stewardship teams aggressively sought to "make it happen" (double teaming .. it works).
Well, the people "heard our cry" and responded by giving generously (it was so inspiring I might even consider tithing .. one day).
Tonight at 8:00 (we can't start until after YYs .. that group is also a priority) the choir and instrumentalists will have the opportunity to "take it out for a spin" before Sunday's official premiere.
I am more excited "all over" than anyplace else!
The new sound system is not the only thing making headlines this coming Sunday.
Last night Bro. Greg and Sheila returned from Guatemala (she has been there for seven months!!) with their newest McFadden .. Lily (perhaps you've heard about the adoption .. our pastor might have mentioned a time or two).
It has been a long ordeal, but Ryan and Joey finally have a baby sister!
A new sound system and a new McFadden.
Darn you, Greg .. trumped me again!
"With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought."
- Psalm 45:15a
