According to the weather reports I saw before we left, the weather will never dip below 90 degrees anywhere that we.ll be for the entire trip. Yesterday was no exception, but we had an hour of (warm) pouring rain right as we arrived in Tampa. Rain came down in sheets just as we were unloading luggage, guitars, and the Hammond into the church. MCC Tampa has a huge church - I hear Rev. Jim Mitulski said they won the MCC building lottery. My host said they have ~250 regular attendees. I don.t know how many people came to the concert, but it was our biggest yet! Probably about 200. They gave several standing ovations, cheered enthusiastically for our GALA set, and gave us a generous love offering. Everyone was so friendly--they gave us a great dinner, then a reception afterwards. It.s a great congregation, and they clearly adore their pastor, Rev. Phyllis Hunt. This morning, they made us a pancake breakfast, and Rev. Phyllis sent us off with a blessing and
a reminder that we.ll be representing all MCCs at GALA.

Dear Aidan and everyone -
Thank you for the wonderful blog! We are all so proud of the worship and praise team, and we are with you every step of the way. Thank you for sharing the best of MCCSF with so many, and with those we love in Georgia and Florida. We will miss you all in worship tomorrow, and will be thinking about you.
With gratitude,
Lea
