I have never seen you give anything less than your best at any service that I've attended. I personally look forward to Lent and Advent and love the how special those services are! I don't think those minimalize the services outside of those two seasons either. You mix stuff up enough from week to week to keep it interesting every Sunday and I always look forward to seeing how you get from the beginning to the end of a sermon. You always put some of yourself, your life and your family in all that you do. We're all getting to know you through your ministry. It's been wonderful!

I guess my understanding is this time of year IS special, and we should have special worship services. Doesn't in my opinion, lessen any other worship service but highlights the basis of our beliefs.
