That's what L.C. Sutton said as he began his message during the Together For Lincoln celebration.
We caught a glimpse of what unity in Christ looks like with 1,000 people from 13 different churches building wheelchair ramps, visiting the aged, picking up trash, painting playground equipment and doing scores of other things - together.
We caught a glimpse of the worship before God's throne as 1,000 believers joined together in song and prayer. Catholics, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Pentecostals, Methodists, and others praised God as Christians only - and at least for one night we caught a glimpse.
For my part, I was privileged to serve with an amazing bunch of singers, musicians and technicians. Thanks to Tom Sowers and his crew from Lincoln Christian College for putting together this video. The soundtrack you hear was recorded live.

I have to say I was extremely proud of the Christians who came together to work. While my group just picked up trash, still I saw connections being made between young and old Independent Christian and Episcopalian. It was one of the most amazing glimpses I have ever had into Heaven and Earth being one. I pray we do more things just like this.
Bill, I have truly been inspired. Who can I talk to to get information on how this was started, the particulars of the event, and what I can do to initiate something like this in Robinson.

Shawna,
It started when the church administrators from our church and Lincoln Christian Church shared the same dream. They came up with a plan and had a meeting with other leaders from the local ministerial association. That was about a year before the event. At this point we've formed a board (mostly lay people) and are seeking non-profit status.
There are a ton of details that just wouldn't fit here, so I'll contact you directly.
Bill
