"That was amazing!!", "Wow!!", "Did you feel that?", This was awesome!!" These were just a few of the remarks that I heard over this past weekend. There were more......a lot more, but I think you get the point. HRCC had just experienced one of the biggest weekends in the short history of the church.
Friday night, HRCC became "One Church in One Location" with UNITED. "That was amazing!!" All three campuses met together to worship God for His blessings; to celebrate 20+ baptisms; and to share the Lord's Supper. Again, "That was amazing!!"
Saturday, in Denton and Kannapolis, a total of 20,000 eggs disappeared in less than 45 seconds. "Wow!!" This was crazy!! There were almost 7,000 people that showed up to see eggs fall from a helicopter. And that was just Saturday.
Sunday, HRCC's Easter services were attended by over 1200 people. "This was awesome!!"
Now that I have caught myself up with what all happened this past weekend, I can focus on what I saw........or felt. I saw a lot of volunteers work very hard behind the scenes to make everything work as smooth as it did. I saw a lot of hard work rewarded with blessings. I saw a lot of eggs, a lot of people, and a lot of fun. But most of all......I felt God move in the worship of His people. Friday night, the worship began before any worshippers entered the service. The musicians and singers offered their talents and abilities to God for Him to use in the service.....and He did. The same thing happened on Sunday morning..... and God took the offering again, and caused the worship to become more than musicians and singers on stage leading. God took over the worship and moved through His people in an amazing way. If you were there at either of these services, even if you weren't singing along with everyone else.....you had to have felt it.
You know.....the sound of God dancing.....and clapping His hands as His children praised Him.
"Did you feel that?"
