So Santa Says To Jesus…
In a video clip during the service at Discovery Church in their “bank takeover” new building, Santa Claus is talkin to Jesus Christ.. “I’m alot like you” says Santa…”I give everybody gifts”… “I wouldn’t call that a miracle though, Jesus says ” I heal people and raise the dead”
Santa Claus “I can turn water into wine” … Jesus “no I don’t think you can”…
Santa Claus (looking rather sheepish) “No…but I want to”!
Welcome to “Discovery” church. first time a played here a decade ago… they were havin church in a theater, The Exorcist was playin next door!
Since then they’ve met in more locations than the early church in the days of persecution. “Discovery was really about finding the location” I said sunday. “I finally got a GPS just for this gig”.
Pastor JD Pearing was more relaxed than I’ve ever seen him. “I finally have a home base” he smiles. “everytime we have a grand opening for a new site we have Bryan Duncan” he tells the faithful. “He should probably be a member by now”.
“It’s a grand opening” he tells me “so try to do some happy songs”… “that narrows down my list by two thirds” I tell him… so I play the old standard happy singalong stuff mostly: Clap yo Hands, It gets Better, Still Dancin… and I close the service with Maybe I’m Amazed.
people coming early for the second service said I was singing that same song on the Christian Radio Station when they pulled up. Nice timing.
Two services sunday morning and I was driving the worlds smallest rental car back to Sacramento Airport to Go home. This is the way I like to roll frankly! Not alot of down time on the road anymore.
