Overflow Worship Night

Besides helping with worship at Shore Community Christian Church during our first year in New Zealand, I've made a few connections with other churches in the area.  This Sunday night I was invited to lead two of these churches in a time of fun, informal worship at a beach on the Whangaparoa Peninsula - beautiful!

The opportunity came about when I was giving guitar lessons to a fellow church planter from West Auckland.  Their church is still in it's beginning stages, so with no worship leader on staff they have very few times of "worship through song" for lack of a better term.  He shared his idea with some other friends of ours from a partner church on the north shore and the Overflow Worship Night was conceived.  About 60 people in all, representing four different churches attended the event.  We played games, ate food, sang christmas songs and a few other worship tunes.  Whitney and I were blessed to be a part of it.  So was Laney.

Speaking of Lane...wouldn't it be cute if she wore cute baby glasses?  No, she doesn't really need glasses, but there's something adorable about a baby in a pair of specs.  See what I mean?  We had her try this pair on at the mall today.  Love it.
