A peek inside Jacob's Well...

And, yes, this is pretty much how it always is…

Above photo, from left to right: Phil Lesnieski (Social Outreach and Justice Ministries), Tim Keel (Pastor), Mike King (President/CEO for YouthFront), Shayne Wessel (Associate Pastor), Mike Crawford (Worship Leader). (If you can’t guess, they’re all belting out the many parts of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.”)

And, this is how our children are always acting up (singing The Village People’s “YMCA”):

No, actually, Jacob’s Well was kind enough to throw a big, 70s-themed dinner-party for all of us volunteers last night. It was a lot of fun, but it made me wish that our church was still like this (mostly for the fact that there were only about seventy-five people in attendence).

Tim Keel delivered a really cool, little five-minute sermon after we ate that really meant a lot to me. It can be summed up, sort of like this: We are not a group of volunteers who do what we do because we know there is a big list of duties that must be checked off. We are a group of people who have decided to live, worship, and serve together as a family. We do the things we do because we desire to help our family members exist, not because we feel obligated or even indebted. For this reason, Jacob’s Well succeeds as a single body of believers and not something as simple as a group of volunteers.

Update: Mike King posted some more (better quality) pictures here.
