Hey Element Church! I don't know what to say. UNBELIEVABLE day today. I'm not going to say I'm amazed cause I say that every week. Folks, what is happening at Element Church can ONLY be of God. People are being set free from sins, bondage and fears every week. Today was no other. Decisions were made today by parents and teens that can change the course of their lives forever. Here are my thoughts on the day.
--- 1 young lady received Christ today. PRAISE THE LORD! Of all today's happenings, that is the greatest!
--- 372 in church today. NO, that is not a typo. That is 3...7...2. Our second service was ENTIRELY full. Every seat in the front row was taken. There couldn't have been but a handful (3-5) seats left in the entire place. After the opening song and random act of kindness video there were people lining the theater hallway waiting to get in. What God is doing through us has struck a chord with MANY people.
--- It was an odd morning. While doing my final study and walk through on my message this morning, I opened my computer to jump on a commentary just to make sure a certain thing I was going to share in my sermon was correct. It was...but when I opened my computer my email program received two emails. Both emails were discouraging ones and began to overwhelm my thoughts. I just felt a heaviness today about the service. Adam shared some AWESOME Scripture with me on the way to the theater and through the morning God really cleared my mind and heart. The heaviness of this subject is doing that to my heart, just making it heavy. (in a good way)
--- Set up went wonderful today. Getting better every week. Our sound tech is learning her way around the board and today I did even less in helping her out. She is doing a great job. WAY TO GO PAM!
--- We had a group of teens come down from a church in Torrington today, that was cool!
--- Held The Tour today. Had a great turnout. I love re-telling our story each month. It never gets old. Thanks Curtis, Grant and Adam for sharing this job with me! You guys do great!
--- The band added a new member this week and it really filled the sound. Adam is continuing to do a great job of leading the band, adding, teaching and ministering through music.
--- We introduced our new RAK (Random Act of Kindness) idea for the month today. We showed a video of me putting away shopping carts at Wal-Mart. That's your task. Help out when you go shopping (wherever it may be) to put some errant carts away, or put someone elses away for them. (Just make sure the groceries are out first) I'll post the video here later this week. It was funny!
--- Folks, we are out of space. We need help in e:kidz with all these new people. Lots of unknowns surrounding Element Church right now. One thing that is NOT unknown is the fact that God is in control. He is not caught off guard by our growth. He is not surprised at our need for space or volunteers. God has something SPECTACULAR in store for Element Church, for you and for our city.
Well, those are my quick thoughts on the day! I'm sure I'll think of more later! You guys are awesome!
Following Christ,
Jeff
