We shared tears of joy, sadness, and adulation as we prayed, sang, and worshipped together. I've never seen so many "unique" ways 0f touching a group of people. A lot of people used their talents and gifts like never before I love all of them for that, and I thank God gor giving them an opportunity to praise him in those ways.
