Inside Today’s Experiences (Sanctuary Edition)

January 10, 2010 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

  • Earl and I swapped places today so I’ll be reporting on my day in the sanctuary.
  • First though I hear things went well in United.
  • As for me…wow…getting up earlier to do the Traditions service at 8:30 is something i’m glad is on Earl’s job description not mine.
  • My mind just doesn’t function well that early in the morning.
  • However I had a great time…Galen did an excellent job of leading the hymns and the music selection for that hour was probably most spot on with the message I preached.
  • As usual there were a lot of comments about me being in a suit.
  • The I’m Gilbert’s twin brother Greg joke never grows old.
  • Not used to doing “costume” changes on Sunday’s but yes I did wear a different outfit for each service.
  • I loved the Celebration service today…the music took me back to my early years of being a Christian.
  • Not sure what happened to my mic as I was getting ready to preach that one, but we got it figured out.
  • Lucky…since I carry my bible the whole time I’m not sure what I’d have done if I had to hold the hand held mic.
  • Got to experience Encounter then for the first time.
  • Lots of fun and high energy!
  • By the time I preached the message to Encounter…(5th time in 2 weeks), I was ready to add in some extra stuff.
  • Should have done that before…I liked that delivery the best of the 5.
  • Of course by the 5th time I’d better have gotten it right.
  • All in all a different but yet fun day!
