Inside Today’s Experience

June 5, 2011 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

  • Another great day!
  • Weird not starting the day by meeting Mike to put out signs.
  • He missed his first day today which now only leave Chad from the original group that has not yet missed a day.
  • Thanks to John and Sara Fox for taking care of the signs today.
  • Not sure how we did it but everything got set-up about 1 1/2 feet off center on the stage today.
  • Weird since we used the same marks as usual as a guide…looked funny.
  • During our team meeting Lisa and I were surprised with a cake for our birthdays & anniversary.
  • Great to have the Bricker’s and Deihl’s pay a visit today from Chambersburg.
  • Loved the new song the band did today called Manifesto.
  • Poor Bill…the bridge part is essentially the Lord’s Prayer except you’ve got to sing it all in 1 breath…he’s been struggling with it but during warm-ups this morning he was nailing it.
  • Mmm not so much during the Experience but he pulled it together and it still was a powerful moment.
  • Great to also bring back the song Beautiful Things which was a major part of our Easter Experience.
  • I wrapped up the iLife series today by talking about how to get moral margin in your life regardless of whether you’re a teen, single or married.
  • I had no idea the impact the message was going to have.
  • Person after person came up afterward saying it was one of the best messages they had heard.
  • That’s a very humbling thing to hear but I’m glad it immediately resonated with people…now I hope they apply it.
  • This will be hard to describe but I hear all the time, “Gilbert I love how real you are”.
  • Honestly I can’t imagine preaching any other way.
  • We also had 2 more people make a decision to become a follower of Jesus today!
  • That’s now 93 since we launched 7 months ago!
  • Can’t wait for the Thrive series to start next week…it’s going to be awesome and everyone attending will be given a special gift that will help you apply what Chad’s going to be talking about.
  • Big thanks to my niece, Taylor Duda and to Kiara Pornel for all their help serving each Sunday.  These two young ladies will be going off for the summer and today was their last day for awhile.  Thanks again ladies…serve Jesus as you travel!
  • Folks God is doing some amazing stuff in and through us…keep it up and I promise you one thing…The Best is Yet to Come!
