Graceful Barbarians

I’ve spent some time, last night and this morning, adding photos to the “Women of C3″ album page. As I have been looking at the photos, I have been inspired and have often become emotional about what I see - and what it represents…

Because I’m on the platform in both services just about every week, I rarely get to see what’s going on in the other services and all of the other places that work is being done (ie: the lobby, the nursery, Powerhouse, etc.). I know how much work goes into doing all that we do every weekend, but seeing the faces and the heart behind the work really moved me.

All that my C3 sisters do, how they love, how they serve - their passion and heart for God, for others, for C3 - it all inspires, moves and humbles me.

I love these women…these Graceful Barbarians - I love them and I thank them for being…

gracefully brave in the fight for love.

They know, as I do, that…

Love Wins - Always.

Look at the faces of the ones who are learning from us, and tell me it’s not worth it! :-)

Beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!

Thank you all - C U At C3!

Peace.

The Remains of the Day - Pictorial Review

Below, I wrote about our first weekend as a “theater church”. Here are just a few pics - more will come in the following weeks…

Here’s one of our beautiful, honkin’ trailers! :-)

One Honkin’ Trailer!

And another (there are three in all).

A Church on the move!

C3 Rocks!

The beautiful praise music, the cool stage, all of it…it wouldn’t have been possible without all of the volunteers: The Crew: “Setting up…early on Sat. morning”

Sat. morning crew

Too busy to pose…

And “The Staff”: “Getting the Lobby ready to go” , and “arriving bright and early Sat. morning to help out”.

These commited C3′ers show that volunteering can be fun! At C3, kids are a priority - The C3 Kids Team worked hard to make all of the kids areas safe, fun and efficient! Miss Verna and Monica love the C3 Kids! Powerhouse was a blast as the C3 Kids Team rocked the house.

clubhouse was a blast!

and the Clubhouse puppets were awesome!

Our smallest C3′ers were not forgotten - they had a beautiful and safe environment of their own…

…complete with a clean floor put down every week!

Barry, Verna, and Travis and “Staff” worked hard to make the check-in process run as smoothly as possible.

And Brandon and Barry O. set the lighting and computers. So many volunteers made the morning a success.

Sat. morning set up

They paved the way for Byron to speak passionately about the importance of investing in others.
The awesome volunteers of C3 church proved that they understood this principle. We are all so grateful and know that God will bless all of their efforts. Sunday was a wonderful day…and just a preview of what’s to come so it will only get better and better! I’m so privileged to be among the group of people that make up the community of faith that is…C3.

Peace and thanks to you all.
