Power Outage

IMG_0065a

This morning in the 9:00 a.m. service, we were suddenly surprised by a power outage.  Right during the last song, the power went out. I mean everything went out in the whole building.

As we gathered information from the local authorities, we were told that a car hit a telephone poll and knocked out the transformer. The outage was widespread into nearby Dover, and the power wouldn’t be back on for several hours.

We basically shut everything down and all went home. The people were kind and gracious with lots of laughter and joking in the hall ways.

We did get 98 %  of the first service finished. Next weekend, we’ll have extra CDs on hand of today’s services, or you can go to the NewPointe website (www.newpointe.org) and click “Media” and watch it on Vimeo.

Three things to remember:
