Weekend Wrapup

8 07 2007

— 54 at Unplugged today. Folks, we might be looking at a space issue from day one. BRING IT! Already thinking of ways to accommodate our growth at the theater. I love the feel of the theater and can’t imagine not being there right now. Although, if it can’t contain us I think I’ll cope and deal.

— We had 34 two weeks ago at Unplugged. Today we had 3 families return from Preview and then we had 2 brand new families and one single adult today from Cheyenne that had never been to any of our events before. God is providing some amazing connections for us.

— I’m speaking at our Conference jr. high camp next week. I’m very excited about that. Get to take the whole family, HOWEVER, I hate missing Unplugged. Grant will do a great job but I want to be there.

— We need to be very intentional about accommodating this growth. 6 people in March, 54 today.

— I need to grow as a leader.

— We need to get very intentional in building volunteer and leadership teams.

— I need to grow as a leader.

— I love Element Church. I love our people. I love Cheyenne.

— Jonah and Mariah went to church early with me this morning. They were a great help carrying stuff in. That was cool for them to come along. Can’t do it all the time but thought we’d try it today.

— Looking forward to getting into the office tomorrow and working on stuff. I’m having a hard time taking days off. I need to be better at that too. I love working on Element stuff right now and seems there is always something to do.

Ok, that’s about it. We’ll do a weekend wrapup every week. Grant says I “stole” random thoughts. Whatever!

Following Christ,

Jeff





Unplugged Update

8 07 2007

MAN, God again brought us new faces. We had 54 at Unplugged this morning. That is 20 more than our last Unplugged. We had 3 families come back from Preview and then a brand new family that had never been there before today. The new family is in the Air Force, brand new to town and found out about us from another church. Googled us online and came across my blog. From my blog they linked to elementweb.net and found us. They were very nice and sounds like they are looking for a church like ours. Really felt God’s presence in worship this morning leading us into the Word. I spoke on our core value of “Life: We are not made to live in apathy so we will be a church that is vibrantly alive in all our activities breathing life into our community.” My prayer each week is that God would bring us new faces. That prayer has been answered positively every week. We have 3 more Unplugged services before our next Preview and 4 more Previews before launch. We may seriously be in need of a larger facility early on in the life of Element Church. MAN, I love this!

Following Christ,

Jeff
