Inside Today’s Experience

December 16, 2007 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

  • Ok, so the ice slowed us down a little.
  • I really enjoyed today’s Experience despite the attendance being way down with the ice.
  • I guess some people just got it in their mind that the ice would be bad and decided to stay home…truthfully when we left at 8AM to head to church the roads were already clear…by the time 10AM rolled around when most people would have to leave to come, it certainly was clear by then…oh well, you missed a good one.
  • “Angels We Have Heard on High” rocked!!!!  Our team is so awesome…big thanks to Curtis Miller from MD for suggesting that version.
  • We had brand new volunteers on both the projection computer and lighting computer…they did awesome as well…way to go Jerry and Chrissy!
  • I had a frog in my throat all day…hate when that happens.
  • Wow sometimes messages come out exactly the way I prepare them and then other times they don’t….today was one of those days where I just got out of the way and allowed God to do His thing.
  • As an example the long pause while talking about how many people just stand around during worship was a completely a spur of the moment thing.  The longer I stood there the more the point was made and eventually it got long enough that even I was feeling uncomfortable…however many people commented that it really got the point across and was quite convicting…yeah God!
  • We switched things up today with the amount of music and when it happened.  It’s always good to keep people on their toes.
  • Lisa heard someone comment towards the end….”Oh he forgot to take the offering again.”  Of course we were just adding in a song where one normally didn’t go.
  • It was good to share in communion with everyone even if the crowd was sparse.
  • After the Experience I got to share in communion with the worship team which is always a neat thing.
  • Had a huge Thanksgiving like meal at the Krull’s for lunch and now were heading out for dinner with some other friends of ours…wow it’s hard to keep my girlish figure.
  • I’ve got a busy week coming up with preparation for Christmas, Christmas Eve and our trip to Florida.
  • Don’t forget your 3 assignments for the week.
    1.  Write a thank you letter to the person who introduced you to Jesus.
    2.  Bring a birthday gift (tithe/10% of your weekly income) income in for
         the birthday boy, Jesus, next week.
    3.  Invite someone else to come into the Experience with you next week.
