Church on the Mall

Posted by Ed and Lois

Lois and I tonight drove up to Grand Rapids for the opening concert of Blues on the Mall. We had gone once last year and I remembered then being struck with the abundance of community being displayed openly in public. Tonight we again witnessed community as I think God intended. People of all races, ages, hair colors, and piercings gathered together to celebrate. A Matthew party at its finest. There were blocks of vendors selling hot dogs, beer and ice cream.(and soda pop) Kids rolling down grassy knowles and laughing out loud.  The music was incredibly loud and you could feel the bass thumping in your chest. People dancing and singing and having a good time. It was the best church picnic we’ve ever been to.  God shows up in some incredible places, but why should we be surprised.
