Here's my experience:
I got to play guitar on stage for the first time ever!! Man. What a mix of emotions and exhilaration. Being able to put together a worship team on the spot was pretty cool. For only having a week's notice we did great! We sang three worship songs and then "Lean on Me" which went perfect with the message preached.
Aside from worship, this was a very different type setting for a church service. You have about 30 to 40 homeless men and women (very few women), and maybe a few younger people in there as well. Working at Walgreens on the north side of town has allowed me to see a different type of clientele, so I guess you could say that's what I experienced here as well.
It was very fun though! The worship and message were very good, and I think a lot of them received it! The passage was Proverbs 3:5-6. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight". A few people came up for prayer and to talk to us after service. It was awesome. :)
Such a simple message, with powerful meaning.
THEN, our group went downtown to the Bistro Market. Such a cool place!!! I thought I was going to eat at the grocery store, then I realized they had a salad bar and buffet too. lol. Anyway.........it's nice getting to know new people. Especially ones that go to school and work just like you. They understand you. They love music like you do. Ultimately, they love the Lord like you do. Engaging Jesus conversations, and a place where you feel like you fit in.
I couldn't ask for more.
And I can't wait to go again in a month.
