- It was baptism Sunday and upon getting to church the tank was full but cold; apparently the heater wasn't on. The property guys got creative and drained the tank and then refilled it by attaching garden hoses to our water heater, insuring a warm tank for baptisms.
- There was confusion over who was to make coffee for this 5th Sunday and so we got a late start on making it. 5 minutes into making the coffee, the large coffee maker keeps tripping a breaker thus making it inable to make large batches of coffee. We resort to making one pot at a time.
- Halfway through our 9:00 service an older gentlemen begins to choke, very audibly. Several people jump up to attend to him, but he regains himself pretty quickly. It's one of those moments that feels like it took minutes, but was acutally only a few seconds. The paremedics were called but we were thankfully able to send them home.
- There was a biting in our preschool room during our 10:30 service.
- We ran out of coffee by 10:40 (see above). Wouldn't have been so bad if there wouldn't have been like 10 people trying to drain every last drop from our empty pots.
On the plus side, we baptized 6 people, took communion together, and enjoyed worshipping with one another. The stories from our baptism folks remind us what the point of ministry really is, even if Murphy decides to crash Hillcrest on a Sunday.
