No, Jimmy Buffett isn’t here……nor are there cheeseburgers in paradise...…but last night a high school group of mariachi musicians was……and their sounds filled the Convention Center.The gathering music between sessions, and the worship experiences before the sessions at GC are amazing. There is a traditional choir (rotated among the many D/FW churches) which seats just off the platform to the right. Then there is a group of musicians – guitar, drums, bass guitar, keyboard -- and singers which lead the singing and offer special music themselves. The music director, Mark Miller from Yale, and worship leader Marcia McFee from Northern California, have worked to create thematic services which flow, inspire, and celebrate. And they do. I'm bring back lots of ideas to invigorate our worship experience at HUMC.
Go to the GC website to download Bishop Minerva Carcano’s sermon from yesterday morning, in which she talked about caring for the immigrants in our communities……and what Jesus would have us do.
