God has done such AMAZING things this past year, I can’t imagine what I would pick. I decided to make it easier I would pick one thing from each month of this past year as my top moments.
#12 January — Sunday, January 13th will live in my top church moments for the rest of my life. We got to be a part of something I had never experienced in church. We have since done it again. Element Gives Back Pt. 1. We were three months old as a church and doing a series on finances. We felt God asking us to model “this is not our money” by giving an entire offering back. So, on January 13th, we gave back January 6th’s offering. $3580 total. That was a HUGE step for us as a young church that was counting on every offering. But MAN was it as much a blessing for us as those who got the money. We challenged people to pay it forward to the community. You can read about that Sunday HERE. You can read another related memory HERE.
#11 February — Breaking the 300 barrier and starting a series on sex. The series Satans Sex Ed we did in February was more raw, unfiltered and transparent for myself than anything I’ve done as a pastor. But HOLY COW did people really connect. AND it was our fastest growing month at the time. So many new people. People finding Jesus. You can read about our first week HERE. HERE is another post on it. AND the Patriots had just lost the Super Bowl. Doesn’t get much better than that. It was in February tha twe finalized the Egg Drop AND announced the move to three services too. Andy and Aubrey also committed to come to Element in that month. CRAZY month for Element.
#10 March — First annual Cheyenne Egg Drop. How does that not take the cake. Dropping 15,000 eggs from a helicopter. Over 2000 people. Snow. It was awesome. Read about it HERE. Watch it HERE. Also busting the 500 barrier on Easter was amazing.
