Visiting a New Church

This past Sunday, my husband and I had the joy of visiting University Presbyterian in Seattle. Saying that the experience was great would be an understatement. Everyone who knows me, knows that I really enjoy a good gospel choir. This past Sunday, their gospel choir shared their gift of music. They were powerful. Opening with the little children singing "This Little Light of Mine" and having the choir sing back up was awesome. I loved the heart they brought into the song. It came alive. As the leader turned to the congregation, the tears immediately fell from my cheeks as I remembered my own daughter singing up front in Seattle Children's Chorus. It's been quite a while since I've heard her voice. They also led a number that we are familiar with in our own church, "Ancient Words (...ever true, changing me and changing you...)". So many things spoke to my heart. The powerful message of HOPE delivered by Rev. Kay Broweleit was AWESOME! She and her husband David have been long-time Champions of Eagle Wings and it was our first meeting face to face. They are so kind. After hearing her share her heart, I can how passionate they really are about living a life of hope and love. On the cover of their church bulletin was an eagle and Isaiah 40:28-31 written. Imagine that! What a gift the family of UPC are to their community!
