45 today at Unplugged. We had a great service. Adam and Amber were gone so I led the singing while Katie (young lady in the church) played keyboard and Curtis (Air Force chopper pilot) played djembe. Katie and Curtis did great! I won’t say anything about the third member of the group.
— Like I said, we had 45. We had one new face at Unplugged today. A young lady who came to our preview service. No one was “brand new” today. We are developing a GREAT core group of people. Givers, servants, followers of Jesus. Great age range too. We have a plethora of kids and yet we have some in their 50′s and I won’t guess the ages of a couple of our older ones. HA!
— Next level! I started thinking today of the next level. I need to work on that this week. I feel like we’ve capped right now for what we are doing. Unplugged has DEFINITELY served it’s purpose. We’ve developed teams. Established relationships and cast vision for Element Church. But it’s time. It’s time for the next step and that step happens in one month when we “go live”! We’ll have 4 preview services through September and then launch day on Oct. 7th.
— Every church has it’s barriers. I truly believe we’re bumping ours. So, how do we go beyond the barrier. How do we break 100, 200, 500, 1000. I believe that is on the horizon. I don’t want to limit God and yet at the same time I don’t want to be cavalier in my assessment of where we will go.
— I love our people. Just had some GREAT conversations with amazing followers of Christ who God has sent our way. I told them today at Unplugged how honored we are that they choose to come to church with us. We seriously could not have got this far without the many people that have connected to Element Church to give and serve.
— Dude, my mind is filling with things I want to write out. I’ll have to let my brain ooze on here this week. Some cool things are bubbling up that we need to leverage for the Kingdom and for our church.
— Where will God take us. What can we accomplish. I often wonder if I get in the way of what God could do? He doesn’t NEED me yet he CHOOSES me to accomplish HIS task. That blows my mind. I don’t want to be a limiter. That challenges me. Convicts me. I hope I’m up to the task.
Following Christ,
Jeff
