Inside Today’s Experience

March 4, 2012 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

  • Great ending to the Sun Stand Still series.
  • God definitely moved in a lot of people’s live throughout and today was no exception.
  • Got to sleep in this morning since we had 2 new guys (Justin Good and Bob Geisel) putting out signs.
  • Thanks guys!
  • Set-up was radically different than normal since we were missing 4 of our normal people including 3 band members.
  • However, all things considered it went rather smoothly.
  • The exception was I ended up being the one hanging the “sun” props.
  • I actually had a dream about it last night where I fell off the ladder…woke up with my heart beating a million miles per hour.
  • So I was a bit gun-shy doing it for real today…especially when I got light-headed at one point and nearly fell off for real.
  • Aaron did a great job leading worship again today in Bill’s absence (and no they still haven’t had the baby).
  • Also great to have Evan Reichley sitting in on drums.
  • He brought his own drum stool which really looked cool…sort of Captain America(ish).
  • Chad is doing an awesome job in his new role of coordinating all the people serving on Sunday’s which has taken yet another big stress off of me.
  • The Experience itself started out weird with one of the lights going on and off.
  • Really quickly grabbed another power strip since that appeared to be the issue but now looking at the picture for this post, I’m not sure it didn’t malfunction again.
  • Weird only having a 4 man band but they did a great job.
  • I think this was the worst of the messages in the series both from a content and presentation perspective but once again many people afterward were talking about how it impacted them.
  • Glad God can take my efforts and use it to change lives!
  • The lady I gave the $100 to came up afterward and shared her story…really cool.
  • Also it was great to hear that others of you stopped her and gave her even more money!
  • To hear why I gave her the money you can listen to it here.
  • The main theme of the message was what to do when you start chasing your miracle but opposition starts to come.
  • Again you can listen to it and all the messages in this series by clicking here.
  • Next week we begin a new series called, “Family:  Putting the Pieces Back Together”.
  • If you’re interested in knowing how to be a better parent or you know someone that needs some help, then don’t miss this series.
  • Tomorrow I’ll post a Facebook invite that you can use in addition to the invite cards we passed out today.
  • If you need more invite cards, please let me know and we’ll get them to you.
  • Don’t forget the difference passing out just 5 cards per week can make!
  • Also don’t forget to participate in March MADness this week and bring your bookmark back with your story written out.
  • Have a great week…can’t wait to start the new series with you and hear your stories of how you’re making a difference!
