Inside Today’s Experience

February 12, 2012 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

  • Another good day.
  • Started out this morning not being able to open my car doors because they were froze shut.  Once I did get the rear door open, then I couldn’t get it shut.
  • Made for a late start with Mike getting the signs out…and oh wow was it cold.
  • Set-up went pretty smoothly…although after last week’s “No Show Sunday” seemed like we had some missing and out of place stuff, but we figured it all out.
  • Bill is always really creative and came up with a boxing ring for the set piece today…it was cool how he made it.
  • Had a decent size crowd show-up at 9:10 to share in communion with us.
  • The theater is such a hard place to pull it off (logistics) and with our large amount of unbelievers that attend, for some theological reasons its difficult as well.
  • This will be a good solution to use from time to time to supplement the times we do it other ways.
  • After communion we had a lot of new people come in to observe our team meeting and then get a behind the scenes tour of the areas they are interested in serving in.
  • If you’re interested in serving, please start the process by choosing the appropriate link and then filling out the form.  For set-up, tear down, or any First Impressions role, click here.
  • For any Children’s Ministry role, click here.
  • As a reminder, to incorporate some new stuff we want to do, we also need those currently serving to fill out the appropriate forms as well.
  • As for the Experience itself, it was a small yet fairly enthusiastic crowd today.
  • Bill and the team did a great job covering “Ladies and Gentlemen”.
  • Andy and Cris did a great job as well creating the tech side of things for it.
  • I shot a video but it didn’t come out great but here it is anyway so you can get a sense of what we did.
  • That led into Chad’s message which we called, “All Show Sunday”.
  • He did a great job sharing why you need to serve with others in the area that you not only have a passion for, but are also gifted to serve in.
  • I was able to walk around today and see some of our other ministries in action.
  • So thankful for all that God allows us to do!
  • Again we’d love to see you begin serving if you’re not already…click the links above to get started.
  • One cool up-date…
  • I announced at the end that we fell about 500 cans short of our goal to collect 2012 food items for Isaiah 61 Ministries.
  • After the Experience was over, a very generous lady said she’s buy the difference!
  • Love to see people being radically generous!
  • Had about 70 people come out to lunch at Infinito’s with us.
  • Always good to be able to spend time with getting to know people better.
  • Pretty awesome to see how many people from my couple of blocks are now attending…some that I didn’t even know lived nearby.
  • Next week we begin a new series called, “Sun Stand Still”.
  • I can’t stress this enough…THIS WILL BE THE MOST IMPORTANT SERIES WE’VE EVER DONE…DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO INVITE PEOPLE TO COME WITH YOU.
  • If you need more of the invite cards, please email me and we’ll get them to you.
