A few years ago, I sat through a church service that stirred my spirit greatly. It wasn’t the words to a sermon, though my then pastor Tommy Earl Burton brought a great message. It wasn’t a Sunday School lesson or anyone’s testimony. It was a trumpet and a piano.
In the middle of the service on that Sunday morning, we had the most beautiful representation of Palm Sunday, as my friend Richard Lovelace mastered the keys of the piano as he always does, and another friend, Margie Manning, played the sweetest notes from her trumpet as they presented the song Via Dolorosa.
I was reminded of that service this morning and feel led to share the experience with new readers. Tommy Earl is now a pastor in Mount Pleasant, Things have changed vastly in the years since this service, but the message of that one particular hour still rings very deeply in my heart.
