The Snow Dance

Last night at 8pm my son Peyton was saying...."I hope it snows so we don't have school." I told him that the only way to ensure it was going to snow was that he would have to do the snow dance. He rolled his eyes in disbelief. I then told him it was an old dance that people long ago would use....he still did not really believe but thought it was worth a shot. After I showed him the dance, it was funny enough that he also decided it would be funny and began to do it. Of course,Brady, my 3 1/2 year old thought it was real funny so he started to do it. I told them that if they both did it together that we were assured snow and no school.

Well.....the snow came and is still falling. School is closed and I can't wait to see Brady's face. Peyton (11) is old enough to know that it "probably" did not snow because of the dance. However, Brady is going to think his dance opened up heaven and let the snow fall. That boy will be dancing every night!

I am hoping we can get some more snow before they wake up and eat breakfast. The temperature should stay around 35 degrees......could make for some fun sledding. The roads into the church were clear this morning but seem to be getting worse as the snow keeps falling.....everyone have fun but drive safely!

This Coming Sunday is a BIG day for Team Church. We have our first "pre-view" service at our new campus in Lancaster Co. Steve Miller our Pastor there has done a good job building a core group and they are ready to go. Gordon and Olivia Hann who have been apart of our church for 9 years have moved there and will also be a big part. As a matter of fact Olivia will be leading the worship band! Be praying as we have about 20 people from Team Church (Matthews) going down there this Sunday to serve in different areas. This will be a great weekend here and there. It is all about Team!

As far as the weekend services here.....it is great to see the enthusiasm that everyone has over our new name and the prep for our 10-year anniversary celebrations. Last Tuesday we had over 100 people come and give Blood to the Red Cross. They were so amazed by the turn out they wanted to know if they could come back in June! We are now working with Indian Trail Elem School to "stuff a buss" full of school supplies that many kids will need to finish the year, but.... can't afford. Be looking for details of when to bring some school supplies.

We continue to grow and progress toward being all God has called us to be! Great Job!
