April 23 – “What’s a Servolution?”

Once again we had better than fifty folks worshipping at Seaside Sunday morning.  Good mix of old-timers, new residents, and first time visitors.  They were treated to the debut of Corey’s new electric violin.  Great sound.  The praise team as usual did a super job of leading us.  Thanks to those guys (and gal) for their hard work. 

Servolution is rapidly approaching.  What’s a Servolution?  That’s a time when, over a two day period (May 5-6), churches all over Galveston are doing ministry projects that somehow connect them to their community.  Seaside’s project centers around the fact that we are a voting center for the city elections on the 5^th.  We will be providing snacks and drinks for the voters and election officials that day.  So … anybody who wants to be a part of this particular ministry can show up any time after 8 a.m. on Saturday, May 5^th, snacks in hand.  Vote if you haven’t.  Then stick around and greet people as they arrive.  Great opportunity for us to connect with the community and be good hosts at the same time. 

We enjoyed a good meal after church.  Not dinner on the grounds this time, though.  A small group of us met over at Salsa’s.  And what made it a good meal?  Not so much the food as the company, of course.  Well, that and the fact that the Astros game was playing on the TV in the restaurant.  Robert and I appreciated that foresight.  In case you missed it, Astros won 6-1, and Dallas Keuchel finally got his first win of the season after three hard luck losses.  Next they play the Angels.  I think that’s the team with the Babe Ruth-ish guy from Japan who pitches and bats at a high level.  Should be some fun. 

Psalms 52:8 says, “But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God's unfailing love for ever and ever.”

Father, thank you for ministry minded believers and lunch-just-for-fun friends.  Amen.
