Pentecost worship

last night we had a joint worship gathering with friends from Common Table and Holy Grounds. It was a wonderful experience--very participatory, interactive--like Pentecost, it was somewhat chaotic. Amy, Jay and Cindy did a fantastic job creating beautiful music...Cecily painted during the worship, and invited others to add to what she did...it was great watching people sing, play drums, paint, draw, write, interact in so many ways.

Not seen in these pictures is Stan Harris, who helps us out with sound. I've known Stan for 20 years, he is probably the greatest servant I have ever known. He worked hard all afternoon, after serving at his church in the morning, and at the end of the evening he thanked me for asking him to help!

if you come across Stan at one of our events, please tell him thanks!

I'll write more later, but wanted to get some pics up.


this was one of the highlights for me; watching Mel and Mary make music. Mary has been a part of Fair-Park (the church which became Convergence) most of her life. I know a lot of what we are doing is new for her and others--it is so encouraging to watch people be courageous and try new ways of worshiping.


possibly the world's largest communion loaf!
