The Golden Courts

How do you tell a team of incredible servants that you appreciate all they do?
.
By holding a mock awards ceremony, of course!
.
Welcome to The Golden Courts 2009~
.



.
Hosted by yours truly, a.k.a. one incredibly dorky girl~
.

.
As the doors to Court Street's Family Life Center opened, members of our worship team made their way down the red carpet and smiled for the paparazzi. They enjoyed a fabulous meal catered by The Wild Pear, and received awards made out of Play-Doh for such silly things as "Best injury sustained on a Sunday morning" and "Best faux hawk."
.
By keeping the awards light and not self-indulgent, we emphasized the fact that as members of Court Street's worship team, our goal is not to taut ourselves but rather to bring people before the throne of God. That is our ultimate goal.
.
But in order to accomplish that goal, these servants sacrifice so much of their time and talents in an effort to fine tune the worship experience, eliminating as many distractions as possible so that God is magnified. I can never seem to thank them enough for what they do, birthing the idea for a fun appreciation dinner.
.
So, thank you, team. I assure you, Play-Doh will not be your only reward.
