Despite the brutally hot day, we had a "cool" time just being together as an all church ministry team today!
Some of our guys championed the grilling of burgers and dogs for lunch and the conversation around the tables was friendly and positive. Make no mistake, that isn't a given in today's culture and is something we cherish here at North Way.
The real icing on the cake was the nearly 30 minutes of water bombing out in the parking lot where, in the 90 degree temperatures, everyone from our worship leader in Oakland (Kassi Hemerka) to the big guns such as Chris Fitting tried to bring down "Hugs" the mascot. Amazingly it was Doug Melder who provided the accuracy and the distance to win the award and also bring the most joy to the crowd.
I count each member of this team as a blessing and pray for many more such days as we continue to navigate the opportunities and joys God has given us.
Blessings,
Dr. Jay
It is a blessing to all of Northway that God has brought together such a multitude of talent and leadership that can share His great love toward each other and it so doing show us by example just how much he loves us.
