As Elder of the Day on Rally Day Sunday, I spent my time stationed in the narthex. Through the sanctuary doors, I could not hear the sermon or music offerings, nor did I see the slideshow that showcased the church’s 30 year history. However, the unique perspective of being in the narthex allowed me to witness things I otherwise would have missed. I was able to see our community eagerly coming in through the doors, welcomed warmly by our team of greeters and ushers. I saw people who I see with regularity on campus, as well as faces I have not seen in a long time. I saw long-time members who can probably find their way to the sanctuary with their eyes closed, as well as newly joined members that needed some guidance. I watched as many made their way from the 9 a.m. service down to the CLC to fellowship and learn about Sunday school options for adults. I walked my children down the Education wing to their Sunday school classrooms, where all their teachers were excitedly awaiting to meet them. I saw joy in children’s eyes as they left their Sunday school classrooms with donuts. The “God sightings” I witnessed on Sunday stayed with me when I turned off the lights to leave and walked to my car, leaving me charged with excitement over the church’s plans for the fall season. If you were not able to make it this past Sunday, I hope to see you soon!
