This past weekend we experienced a terrific Father's Day at Church Requel. It was our last service at the Mid-Ohio Conference Center. Starting next weekend we begin meeting at Ontario Christian Fellowship. Church Requel is still Church Requel. And we still will meet at 6PM. But we will have a new location. Same Church. Same Time. New Location.
I thought some of you who attended our Father's Day service might enjoy watching our special Father's Day videos a second time. And if you missed this past weekend, well at least you'll have some idea on what you missed! Our opening video was a really cute, 3-minute look at the things you shouldn't write in your Father's Day Cards. Here's a sampling:
- I hope I grow up to be just like you, not including your hairline, of course.
- The truth is I've been giving you the same tie from the back of your closet since I was 8.
- Dad, I always feel closest to you when you're taking care of me. Let's bond. Got 20 bucks?
- Go here to watch this 3-minute countdown with lots more "funnies."
We had a video recognizing all different kinds of Fathers. I especially liked the part where the child spills the milk and Dad first was tempted to get mad, but went ahead and spilled his milk too. (I wonder if Mom cleaned up the milk?) Here's Father's Day: A Broader Perspective by Floodgate Productions.
Before our sermon, we showed this especially poignant video clip showing just how closely our children follow our path. I couldn't help but think of my preschool grandchildren following my son Jonathan everywhere he goes. Here's "In His Shoes" by Shift Worship:
Finally, during the sermon to illustrate the story of someone who has progressed through serious setbacks, we told the story of Bethany Hamilton. Bethany was a 13-year old competitive surfer when she was bitten by a 14-foot tiger shark and lost her arm. Here is the video we showed during the sermon:
