A Good Sunday: when a black screen, broken lights and work crew cannot stop forgiveness

Over the weekend we had a different approach to our worship service. We explored the parable of the unmerciful servant (Matthew 18:21-35) by guiding people through a a series of movements:
Movement 1: receiving comfort for our own hurts
Movement 2: receiving forgiveness for our own sins
Movement 3: praying for those who have hurt us
Movement 4: asking God to help us forgive those who have hurt us

The congregation was amazing in their vulnerability, willingness to be guided and focus during the service. We had a monitor that kept searching for new sources and going to a blank screen, a set of lights that fell down during the worship and a work crew fixing entry doors of the school with drills and saws! But the people focused on God and heard Him say to them: I will comfort you, I will forgive you, I will free you as you forgive others.

Well done Faith Framingham...it's a privilege to be your pastor...and to be guided towards my own need to forgive others through your example.
