Inside Today’s Experience

March 23, 2008 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

  • Great Easter Experience today!
  • 7 more people born into the Kingdom as we discovered that the King still had one more move!
  • I woke up real early this morning excited about the day.  I’m always like that on big days.  It’a combination of excitement and nerves.
  • That means my stomach is definitely not in the mood for food…coming in this morning to the smell of bacon and eggs didn’t really help.
  • As I was walking in from the parking lot, I noticed the sun was behind me and nowhere near the windows they were going to look out for the sunrise service…found out the were able to see the sun at the very end…sounds like it went well.
  • One of the guys “yelled” at me for not dressing up for Easter.  As I told him today of all days…with a lot of guests in attendance…it was the day of all days NOT to be dressed up.
  • I’ve got a lot of commotion going on around me as I type this…as I proofread the previous sentence, I realized I had omitted the word “up” at the end.  So it it read…”it was the day of all days NOT to be dressed.”  WOW…now that would have made for a memorable Experience.
  • From a technical standpoint the day went very well except for me forgetting to turn my mic on at the beginning of the message.  Our transition time was different than normal so I was completely out of my rountine. 
  • It was great looking out a full room…we crushed our attendance record both in United and as a church.  
  • Looks like we’ll soon have to add a second United Worship Experience on Sunday mornings to keep up with the growing crowd.
  • I’m excited about that because it will allow people to sit in one and serve during the other….or vice versa.
  • I thought the band as normal knocked it out of the park.
  • I’m super stoked about the new series starting next week called, “Take it to the Limit.”   I had many people afterwards say…”oh man I really need to hear that.”  As I shared with them…I hear people talking about being maxed out all the time so I think this will be a very life changing series.
  • We went to my cousins house for Easter dinner.  Her mom makes the best sweat tea in the world, but the only time I ever get it is after funeral or at Easter time.  I realized that means someone either has to die or rise again from the dead for me to get it…for some reason that just struck me as being really funny.
  • Tonight we’re together with our entire small group for just a fun night…can’t wait!
