Ok so it isn’t inside ours, although I heard you had a good day.
Today Lisa and I visited Forefront Church in Virginia Beach, Va.
Forefront just celebrated their 10th anniversary as a church and tey are doing an incredible job of reaching the lost in their area. They now meet in 3 locations…including a bar!
I started following thier Senior Pastors blog when he started it a few months back and I love his passion for reaching the unchurched and dechurched in his area.
A few weeks back Lisa and I got to have lunch with him at a conference and arranged to meet up with him again for lunch today after the service at their main campus.
We snapped a lot of pictures of some cool things they do…snagged some flyers to steal some ideas and then went backstage to watch their pre-service meeting/prayer time.
Once in our seats, the band rocked out some Mettallica and in the spirit of the series they are doing, they showed a clip from Star Wars and The Office to set-up Vince’s message on forgiving your father if he has wounded you in any way.
It was a great message, but they had quite a few technical problems today which as it turned out kills Vince just about as much as it does me.
I felt so bad for him…you could tell he was devastated and because of some of the glitches, he will have to re-record the message all over again. Having been there done that, I can promise you that that is never any fun.
We enjoyed lunch with Vince and his wife, Jen at the local Panera Bread, swapping stories and gleaning ideas for the future.
Afterwards Lisa and I headed to the beach and relaxed…getting ready now to head out to a nice dinner.
All in all a great day…Vince and Jen are a great couple, we got to worship God in a great church and I got my copy of Vince’s book autographed…we’re planning on doing a series based off of it this fall…having just read it in its entirety on this trip, I can tell you that God is going to rock your world!
