I can only say that I am humbled and amazed by what I heard today at the BAC2ONE potluck. The testimonies were truly touching to me. If I weren’t such a tough guy (:-) I might have even cried. I don’t know why we don’t take the opportunity more often to hear from people how God has touched their lives through the ministries that we are involved in. What is even more amazing is that we (the planning team) didn’t have to look too hard to find people to speak – and to speak beautifully – about what God has been doing.

To all who spoke today, thank you. You touched my heart and filled me with desire to see what God is going to do this year.

To all who were present today, thank you. Your presence and your prayers made the testimonies possible.

To all who are signed up for this summer’s Camp, thank you. Your readiness to follow God’s calling in your life is a gift to our congregation and our community.

To those who are already planning the coming Art Camp and mini-BAC, thank you. Your labor of love – while hidden from view – is so necessary to open up the possibilities for what God will do.

But most of all, to our God who is always faithful, always gracious and always reaching out, thank you. Your grace and love and power displayed in and through us is truly humbling.
