A lot of people can think or say that they have the best team, but the reality is anyone’s team is only good as their last performance. So how is my team? How is Northway Church doing? When we finished at the Colonial Theatre in the Berkshires, the Manger sought me out and bragged to me up and down about Northway Church. He said he had been in the business for years and worked with all the pros and in different venues but he was pushed back by Northway.

I thanked him for his kind words but then I drilled down. I asked him, “What struck you specifically?” He said, “your people were here early, and watching them all day into the night, from load in, load out, set up, tear down, they were professional, they were highly organized and had an outstanding attitude.” He then replied, “Buddy…Its not just me saying that….its my entire staff.” I welled up with pride about Northway Church…

That, my friends, is the church being the church!

That is Gods light shinning through what we do ….not what we say. I immediately thought how cool it is that someone who has been in this business for years was so impressed by a group of volunteers who love Jesus. Thank you Northway Church….not just for leading the way in the Berkshires, but in Clifton Park and Colonie as well! Keep serving Our King! Heaven is smiling on you!

I love you.

Here is a follow up email I received, not from the manager, but the executive director of the Colonial Theatre. I wanted to pass it along…

Dear Pastor Cremeans,

Thank you for choosing the Colonial Theatre for your Good Friday Service. Our entire staff was very impressed with the professionalism and friendliness of everyone associated with Northway Church.

We appreciated this opportunity to host you and hope you will allow us to do so again in the future. Please extend our gratitude and good wishes to all involved. You are blessed with a wonderful group of people.
