WOW! A couple of additions to the weekend wrapup. The office staff met today to evaluate our preview service. That's always fun yet challenging. Asking the questions "What can we do better?" "What needs to be fixed?" "What did we do well?" Hard questions to ask sometimes but I think when we are offering the GREATEST news imaginable we want to package it in the BEST package possible. Anyway, couple things totally not about what we did wrong or right that I wanted to add.
--- Our offering was $2118.61. Again, GO GOD! That is awesome! Several first time givers which we celebrate! Thanks God!
--- We had 24 volunteers. Yeah TWENTY FOUR. And they aren't just warm bodies to plug in, they are qualified, love the Lord, serve people, volunteers. We didn't beg, plead, or have 47 sign up sheets. We said "You have an OPPORTUNITY to serve your church and to serve your God." They took the opportunity. I hope we teach that well. Serving is NOT an obligation. It is NOT a duty. It is ABSOLUTELY one of the GREATEST opportunities we have as followers of Christ. To serve our God and serve other people.
Anyway, couple of extras for ya. CAN'T WAIT TO DO IT AGAIN!
Following Christ,
Jeff
