I left the house this morning and slipped and slided all the way through my neighborhood…but then the rest of the roads were clear.
Wasn’t sure what to expect attendance wise, espeically after I saw the 8:00 sanctuary service was about half the normal attendance.
So imgaine my surprise when people just kept pouring in for the 9:15…another record crowd!
Brian was leading today so Aaron could shoot some video for some promotional videos we want to do and I thought he did an awesome job!
Man the 9:15 crowd really has been getting into it the last few weeks…even though that crowd is about 1/3 the size of 10:45, you guys are rocking it hard and participating like crazy…awesome!
One guest today at 9:15 introduced himself to me and said that he actually heard me speak my last day at my former church before I went on staff with Purpose Driven.
I don’t know I found that kind of neat.
So after the big crowd at 9:15, I wasn’t sure what to expect at 10:45…my gut thought it would be a low attendance morning because of the ice, but I wasn’t quite sure.
Sure enough, 10:45 then had the lowest attendance we’ve had since we went to two Experiences.
I hate bad weather!
Still though wasn’t a terrible day attendance wise and I’m hearing nothing but postive reports about this series…apparently a lot of have some lions that need to be pursued and your now doing it!
There are about 10 people who serve on our tech team and they do a phenominal job!
I’ve always likened them to umpires or referree’s…you only really notice them when they mess up.
Welll our team does a great job of keeping the mistakes to a minimum and even when they are thrown a curve, they do a great job of minimizing distractions…great job guys and gals!
Congratulations to the people in 9:15 who got what eaglesuperphobia was before I even explained it….caught me completely off guard. So at 10:45 I hesitated to see if anyone got it then, but no one did. Don’t know how you figured it out beforehand, but you’re very smart whoever you are.
Speaking of…the Eagles won this afternoon, so my phobia is only growing worse.
At the end of the 10:45, it was fun getting out into the crowd and jumping and getting excited with some people…just a chance for us to remind Satan why he got kicked out of Heaven!
For lunch we went to Earl’s (Senior Pastor) for our staff Christmas party.
Great food and our staff gets along very well so there was a lot of laughing and good natured joking with one another.
After lunch we played what we called, “Dirty White Elephant Bingo”. Basically it was a combination of various games some of us had played in the past and we rolled it all into one to receive our gift.
I got the “Complete Idiots Guide to Prayer”.
We were supposed to get a gag gift, but this idiot needs all the help with prayer he can get, so I’ll gladly read it here in the near future.
After that we played Wii and watched the end of the football game.
Tonight Lisa and I visited with friends in WV and have just now gotten home and are getting ready to call it a night…I’m beat.
Have a great week…chase the lion…and don’t forget to invite some to come back with you next week as we look at how to overcome adversity in our lives.
