Element Church Insider

— As of today, we can’t figure out the projector in the e:worship auditorium. We don’t know if it’s my laptop, the connector, or the theater projector connection. We have one last try with something tomorrow and then we steal a projector from e:kidz for a week. I really hope the theater one works. Hate not to be able and use that.

— Took pizza to the theater employees today again! A new group of workers this time and they were shocked I’d bring pizza. Shawn (manager) AGAIN bent over backwards for us today trying to get that projector to work. We are giving Shawn a gift card to Chili’s on Sunday to thank him for his help.

— I’M STOKED FOR SUNDAY! Terri made 80 worship guides. Have no idea how many we need or will use. I don’t even want to put a # on expectations. I know we have some High Plains folks coming down and family of Adam is coming.

— I feel we have a great worship experience put together. For our first one I think it’s going to be very good. Only go bigger and better from here. Can’t wait to worship God together for the first time at a real church service. 1 1/2 years in the making. WOW!!

— We’ve had lots of phone calls to the office this week of people asking about our church. Had one phone call today of someone who saw our church and # on our trailer. (Need to get pictures of that on here) Someone called off our window sign too.

— I’M STOKED FOR SUNDAY! I totally believe in what we do and what we offer. People are dying for life and we have it. I want to show thirsty people where they can find refreshing water. I want to show the hungry where they can be fed. And I want to show people who are DYING to live where they can find life.

HA! Only I would think that’s funny. Great weekend again. Superday yesterday was great. Like I said in this earlier post, I think we could have done things better but that’s where we need to learn. Pray for us that the contacts we made at Superday would check us out and see what this God thing is all about.

Unplugged today AGAIN was very good. Just great to see people connecting to us. Every new person that has come to Unplugged has now been back the following week. I told Grant today that I LOVE what our mission is. To connect people with Life. People are dying for life. I am convinced that if someone is honestly searching and they come to Element Church that they’ll stick. I believe with all my heart in what we are doing. We had 34 today, same as last week. One family had some members sick. Still waiting for some other connections to show up. Be praying that the interested people we’ve met would check us out.

We’ve been working all day today. Excluding a 1 hour lunch we worked all day until 7:30 PM. A family in the church was moving across town so Grant, Terri, Nate (Grants and Terri’s son), Amber (Adam’s wife) and I all helped them for several hours. Adam, Kyle (intern) and Morgan (Grant and Terri’s son) took the one hour lunch and then went to the office and finished building the stage for Preview. At about 4:30 a lot of us converged on the office and organized all the crates. We loaded the stage and the crates we’ll use into the trailer. We hooked up the sound system and jammed for a while. I’m pumped for Sunday. Having the full deal is gonna be SWEET! I’m convinced of this. No matter how tired you are, how discouraged you are, how down you are, if you serve with a willing heart God lifts you up and fills you up. Absolutely convinced of that!

This week is shaping up to be CRAZY! Wouldn’t want it any other way. Thursday at 9 AM we get to set everything up in the theatre to test it out. Looking forward to that. Again Shawn and Carmike theatre have been AWESOME! Ok, lots more to come this week. We’ll get pictures of our set up on Thursday.

OH, our Unplugged sermons are going to be online now. We bought a little digital recorder so we could put them online. They won’t be the greatest quality but it’ll work for now. I’m very tired. Good start today to a GREAT week!

Following Christ,

Jeff
