The Curious Case Of Lachlan Coffey: Some Favorite Pastor Daniel Moments Of Sojourn Early Years

I heart Daniel Montgomery and I think you do too so I thought it might be nice to share a few favorite Daniel moments over the years with you.

Daniel was turning 30 years old and back then, in Sojourn demographics, this was like one step away from the senior citizen discount at Golden Corral. As a surprise, we put different pictures on each bulletin of Daniel when he was a youth. At the time there was maybe 200 people at Sojourn. It was pretty funny and Daniel got a kick out of it.

Also, I remember the time that Daniel wore a huge black-haired fro for Sojourn’s 3rd anniversary party. We threw a huge 70′s party right after the service and he won first place for best outfit. He may of even preached in it. I swear that the world would be a better place if every dude had a big ole’ fro. Fros make the world go round. I may have overexaggerated there.

You know how right after the sermon, Daniel typically launches right into communion and everyone starts shuffling their papers and putting their Bibles away? Not you though, right? Well, once, Daniel had just preached this amazing sermon and went into communion and everyone started going through their routine of noise and he just stopped, was silent for a few moments, and then said, “Stop it. Stop moving around. This is a sacred moment that is deserving of our full attention.” Man alive, that was awesome.

Before Sojourn became aware that smashing tv’s was bad for the environment, Daniel was always the catalyst for our annual Kill Your TV smashing session to get rowdy. He turned into “loud” Daniel and riled everyone up and before long everyone and their brother would be screaming and taking sledge hammers to old broken televisions. Hilarious!

Daniel, to quote Cleveland from Family Guy, you are what the Spaniards call El Terrible.
