Inside Today’s Experience

November 18, 2007 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

  • I started the blog 2 weeks ago with WOW…today I’m beginning with AAHHHH!
  • There is absolutely nothing good that comes from a cold, rainy day, so I should have known from the beginning that this was going to be an interesting day.
  • It started with just little problems all morning long…then right before the Experience was to start, I went up on stage to turn the hazer off and got burned on my right hand and forearm…AAHHHHH…it’s still throbbing here at 2PM.
  • Next, somehow the main sound cable got unplugged so when the countdown ended, the team had nothing…AAAHHHHH!
  • Then during the second song, the software we use for projection did something we’ve never seen it do before…it deleted the song…so we had to run a blank screen….AHHHHH!
  • Other little things continued to happen during the morning, but despite all that, God still used us to see another 6 people make first time professions of faith!
  • That’s now 21 during this series! 
  • As good as that seems, remember we have a God-sized goal of 50 professions during this series.  That means we need 29 more professions in the next two weeks.
  • Please invite people like you never have before…next week is a topic everyone is interested in…money and the following week will be a very special Sunday…more details to come later in the week.
  • Had a lady at the guest reception today tell me that last week when she came into the church she got so excited she broke out in hives.  I mentioned that maybe that wouldn’t be our best advertising slogan….”Come to CFCOG and you’ll break out in hives!”….uhh think maybe attendance would drop.
  • Friday night’s coffee house was awesome.  There were between 50-60 people packed into a tiny coffee house in downtown C’burg.  We had 3 bands and a very excited crowd.
  • Saturday Lisa and I were able to spend the whole day together meeting with people and shopping…I love spending time with my wife.
  • Tonight we’ll be getting together with some close friends of ours for dinner.  We normally get together with them on Sunday nights, but the last month has been so hectic that we haven’t been able to…it’ll be good to see them.
  • I’m really excited about some behind the scenes stuff that’s happening right now…hopefully I’ll be able to share some of it with you soon.  In the meantime, pray for wisdom and direction for myself and others as decisions are made.
  • Thanks for being such an awesome church to pastor…you guys rock!
