Preview Recap

WOW! Can't think of a better word. We had 75 people today at Preview. Other than our gas buydown and Superday servant evangelism projects we had done NOTHING, ZERO promotion for preview and we had 75 people. Had a couple families from HPCC in Gillette and we appreciate them being there to support us and help fill the place up. So I say 75 but not everyone are possible return people. HOWEVER, we made some awesome Cheyenne connections, and the majority of the people there were part of our team or Cheyenne folk. The service really went off with no major problems. We had a couple sound issues before church started but figured it out and our computer presentation software was REALLY dragging creating weird transitions during worship. About a 3-5 second delay on slide progression for some reason. We'll have to figure that out. The band stinkin' ROCKED today. MAN, what a blessing to have a solid worship leader. Grant did a great job connecting with people which is what he does best. He did a welcome, did greeting, was the point person for any problems with the theatre and was awesome with set up/tear down. Keenan also did a great job being the front man at the mall doors, helping set up all the e:kidz sound systems, connecting with people and helping with sermon props. Katrina and the e:kidz volunteers did a great job. We had 10 kids JUST in Itty Bitty Explorers (infant - 3 years). Had 3 kids in Elevate (1st - 5th grade). I haven't seen the count from Explorers (4 yrs - Kindergarten). We got to the theatre and found out that we had to have all our stuff out of the hallway by 11:15 AM. Didn't plan on that but it worked out ok. Keenan and Kyle (Kyle was HUGE for us as an intern, WOW) left 15 minutes before church got out to start clearing out crates and e:kidz stuff from the hallway. Terri did a PHENOMONAL job with our e:connect table. Man did that look sweet. I know I'm missing stuff but had to get off my brain some things I was thinking about. Our volunteers were AMAZING. God was worshipped, the Word was preached and we made some new connections. It was a good day. Thanks for those of you who were praying, I got some more stuff to add here later tonight. We'll get some pictures and hopefully video!

Following Christ,
