Inside Today’s Experience

June 29, 2008 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

  • Interesting day!
  • Speaking over in the sanctuary at both 8:15 and 10:30 meant things were in some ways more hectic than normal but at the same time things went smoothly.
  • Uhhh, I woke up at 6:30 so I could get over to the church to get ready for the 8:15 service.  With both Earl and Scott gone and me being out of my element it meant that a lot of preparation had to be done for all 3 services beforehand and by people not used to doing it.  All in all it went very well.
  • The 8:15 crowd especially was glad I dressed up for them.
  • We had 2 professions of faith over in the sanctuary today…yeah God.
  • I’m really proud of the sanctuary team.  One of the take aways from our strategic planning meeting back in March was that the flow needed to be better in the sanctuary and it certainly was better than I’ve ever seen it.  Great job by Scott getting everything ready and for the team that executed it.
  • Back over at United, I had very little to do to get ready this morning…great job by our team picking up the slack so I was very relaxed. 
  • We had one light acting goofy today which was a little nerve wracking because I couldn’t remember if that one was used as a spot for any of the songs…luckily it wasn’t.
  • I loved the message by Ed.  He was hard on his home congregation but it is something all of us can learn from….hey WAKE UP.
  • Best line…Eutychus fell out of the window….You’d of cussed to if that happened to you.
  • I listened this afternoon to a rough cut of the special the girls did after the message….even in a rough cut it was awesome…way to go team!
  • Hey speaking of…Dave can really tear it up on the lead guitar….great to have him be a part of the team.
  • Big thank you to Galen for doing the announcements…even if he was speechless.  Hey that video for the new series certainly does have curiosity up now doesn’t it?
  • It had been awhile since I had to preach twice on the same day.  I had forgotten how much “personality” each message gets.  In other words, the Spirit leads me to say different things in both that are geared specifically for those that are in attendance….not sure if that makes sense but it’s neat to know the Spirit is speaking exactly what He wants.
  • For having gotten up early and preaching twice, I actually feel better than most Sunday afternoons…may not need a nap.
  • Tonight our small group will get together to eat dinner and hang out.
