And I am indeed joyFULL. That's because I feel giddy and drunk with joy. And this morning, I felt like I had a hangover of too much adrenaline and my smile muscles ached. Why you might ask?
Because we had our Opening Day Sunday Service at our new church home (Tierrasanta Seventh Day Adventist Church)!
Whoooohoooo!
One month before we celebrate the 20th year anniversary of the founding of Pacific Church, we launched our new chapter, our new church this Sunday, June 4th, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. But who's counting??
It was delicious. Nice full house. Joe Rathburn as our "opening act"-- rocked. The acoustics were wonderful. It was so amazing to hear the congregation break out into spontaneous singling along with Joe and everyone sounded so beautiful. Kapn' Kurko put up our welcoming greeting, Dr. Holmes' "Peace Be Unto Thee, Stranger" on the screen for everyone to see as they arrived. And then our Science of Mind symbol projected for the rest of the service. George, our sweetheart of a host from SDA was around to be sure things were going smoothly for us. Joel Andeson had mastered the new sound board in a few short hours and had us wired for sound. And it was delicous to see everyone hanging out for fellowship of coffee, cake and each other after service.
Great appreciation to all who helped make the move and the day such a success.In no particular order: John Kurko, Sunshine Johnson, Patti Paris, Joel Anderson, Ken Brown, Kristi Peterson, Ernie Ray, Bill Wiltfong,TK EKrom, Cindy May, Jim Williams, Don Converse, Maren Ryerson, Helen Meyer, Rev. Suzette, Peggy Biello, Cindea Metzler and Jim Turnage. (If I left someone out, please forgive me.)
I loved that Joni Burnett dedicated the flowers to her church community ; and it was so nice to have the bouquet of flowers from Midtown in acknowledgment of our move.
There is so much I look forward to doing in and from our new space and within our new community. Lots of refinements for the service and the growth of our church. I shall have to activate my patience muscles to allow things to unfold in God's time.
Thank YOU.

We have a glorious opportunity to expand the love and joy, as we share it with a new community. Some people went to the church bazaar above us, and chatted with others about attending our service!
I have no other word but "Perfect". That day was just perfect in every way. I am so proud of my church family and our new space. It couldn't happen to a nicer group of people. Thank you God!

I am so glad people enjoyed the service and particularly, the space. We are blessed to be in the midst of this spiritual community.
I am eager for us to have events and bazaars that they can attend, too!
We have so many possibilities ahead of us in our new home.
Love
