Snowy Sunday

Posted by Streams School of Ministry, NH

This Sunday we had church service up on the Pinnacle for the first time in the snow! We had people doing everything from plowing the path up to the mountain, to making hot soup for fellowship after service and stoking the fire to keep us all warm and toasty. It was a Sunday full of new experiences, to be sure.

Our new army tents are up and functioning, finally! Now it's just a matter of keeping them functioning throughout the rest of the winter! Here are a few pictures of us assembling the tents...

the VERY warm wood-burning stove in our tent...which also happens to be a common meeting place for the women in the congregation :)

So this Sunday we had our first ever experience of having church in the tents in the snow. There were only a few inches, but it definitely wasn't easy getting up there for everyone. We even had a shuttle going up and down for those without four wheel drive :)

Once we figured out how to get everyone up to the mountain, we finally got to do some worship on the mountain. Once we started, God really moved in those tents...For the last few Sundays Scott has been speaking on the true meaning of worship, that being a continual stream of adoration and worship from us to the Lord. It's all about Him. So this Sunday we had the opportunity to really walk that out in our worship, and the Lord showed up and blessed it. A huge portion of freedom and child-likeness was released in the tent and people were dancing and shouting for the Lord. It was so powerful and so pleasing to the Lord.

Hopefully the tents can keep us warm up there through the winter...we love worshiping on the mountain and the Lord really seems to speak while we're up there. For now we will just be up there as often as we can!

Feel free to keep us in your prayers about the mountain and all the stuff that God is doing in our internship and the body, we would really appreciate it!
