One more week of “Heart” and then hopefully we’ll be in the new location. Here are my ruminations on the day.
— 3 people in first service and 4 people in 2nd service acknowledged that they had asked Jesus to come into their heart. One of them was one of our JV youth students.
— 3 kids accepted Jesus today as well in e:kidz. That ROCKS! People need to Jesus, not as a buddy but as their Savior. NOTHING tops seeing people come to know Christ.
— We have received some GREAT comments and emails of people sharing about how Jesus transforming their lives. LOVE it!
— 544 today. Both services full again!
— Due to a scheduling conflict last week (we had to play in the championship game of the city flag football tournament. WE WON!), we rescheduled The Tour for today. We also have Partnership class at 4 today. I love seeing people connect in a deeper level to Element.
— Long day when you throw those two things in.
— Adam stinkin’ rocked out a new version of Amazing Love today. Holy Cow it was awesome!
— Spoke on our core value of significance. As stated through this series, I don’t want these values just to be on paper or viewed on the web-site, but what we actually live! Our values need to guide, direct and navigate our mission and vision. I hope people actually see our values IN us.
— Made the announcement that we will not be moving into the new location this week. We do have our final inspection scheduled for Friday. We need three things done and need your prayers on them. #1 Electric needs to be done. #2 HVAC needs to be done #3 Our doors are NOT in yet and we can’t pass inspections without doors. Please pray on our behalf.
— We’re not naming a date again, so we don’t have to retract again. HOWEVER, it is SOON! We are so close we can taste it. I’ll have some new pictures up tonight. Carpet should be done this week. Bathrooms are floored (one small area in womens to be done). Toilets going in. It’s super close.
— I’m actually gonna miss the theater. It’s become home! Sure it will be great to not be portable but the theater holds some awesome memories. It will be one of my “memorials” for the rest of my life. I think we need memorials like God used to have the Israelites put up. It helps you remember what God has done!
— Alright! I know there is probably more but I need to head to partnership class! I LOVE Element Church!
— I’ll try to get pictures up tonight.
Following Christ,
Jeff
