Me In Motion... DAY 4

Last night at Edge (our Wednesday night outreach) we had a concert with a band called Me In Motion.  I have become friends with their tour manager TJ and he has recommended different bands to come to our church from time to time.  We have many bands come to our youth group over the years but I have to say that Me In Motion were spectacular.  I found out after hanging out with them afterwards that they have recently signed with Warner Brothers Record Company and I hope they make it big (whatever that means).  The band only consists of three members but those guys played their hearts out last night.  As much as I love live music and concerts I love something much more.  As most of you know I have been off from work the last two weeks because of the birth of my second daughter Emma.  I came to church last night expecting to have a lot of work to do but I was so wrong.  I walked into to the student life building and the building had been cleaned from top to bottom.  The room was straightened and ready for the students to walk in and engage with what was going to happen on the stage. Our youth workers had already set up tables and they would later bring chips, drinks, cake, and of course the famous Chic-fil-a.  Students and youth workers arrived early to help the band unload and set up there equipment.  All the youth workers during the week had called every single student to let them know about the concert and tell them that they were loved.  There were students working the merchandise table, greeting people, getting others to sign up for CIY, and afterwards having prayer groups in our class rooms.  After the concert adults and students were cleaning up and waiting around to help the band get backed up and to wish them a safe ride home.  There were over a 100 people there and everything went great and I had nothing to do with it.  I LOVE THAT!!

I love to see the people of God in motion.  It is amazing to watch students and adults serving each other all because the love of Jesus has changed their lives.  To watch ministry happen and not just happen, but for it to go great without you having a part of it is just inspiring.  I love watching the church be the church.  I believe the people I love most will change the world. They are in motion...  They are in motion with the God that moves people... They are in motion with something bigger and greater than this world knows...  They are moving and following the one who moves us towards good.  And I love watching them in motion.  Here are some pics of the ones I love most...
