Some Drama in Our Church

Yesterday, our congregation had a great day. We met, as we usually do on the 5th Sunday, at Oquirrh Elementary. Meeting there allows us to be in one assembly and have a potluck in the cafeteria. A ton of guests came to see the "play" - One of our young men had written a drama "I've Been Crucified With Christ". It was beautifully done! After the drama, one of our shepherds made a tearful application of the skit just presented - led us into a moment of celebrating the Supper. The praise team sang beautifully. Guests came who were seeking a church home. The potluck was wonderful - almost everyone stayed and enjoyed some great food and fellowship. (Even most of the guests!) It was a great day!
The REAL drama came after the assembly - when just a few hours later one of our elders received a phone call from a member who had "concerns" about the assembly. Because they were upset (my suspicion) - they didn't stay for the potluck. My guess is they went home to eat camels and swallow gnats. We had a better lunch at the school - getting to know the guests and welcome them back.
It was a great day. Did your congregation have a good day yesterday?
