Hey Element Church! Great conclusion to Satan's Sex Ed today. I am SO pleased with how this series turned out. I was VERY nervous heading into the series but God has done some GREAT things through it. We've gotten many good comments on the series and it just seems as if God really helped some people through it. It was very difficult at times to say some of the things we did but I wouldn't take one word back. The room was tense many occasions and I felt awkward in others but all in all they were things that needed to be said. I don't want to train myself to avoid the tough subjects. The hardest yet best thing to do is to tackle them head on. Our next three series aren't going to be quite as controversial. Heroes starts this coming Sunday. Here are my thoughts on the day.
--- Four people acknowledged that they accepted Jesus Christ today.
--- Numerous people acknowledged they had prayed to God for forgiveness on some sexual sin in their life. Those two things right there are what is most important.
--- 371 in church today. Both services were fairly full. First service was VERY full again. So cool to see first service filling up. I'm excited about e:coustic starting in a couple of weeks. Hopefully that will open up some seats in our other services.
--- We're getting some good response on people to join the team serving at e:coustic. If you're an Elementer and not currently serving somewhere on Sunday morning we'd love to have you join the e:coustic team.
--- Band rocked it again today. Worship was great in both services and the Spirit of God was evident in both as well.
--- My body is going to be ACHING after three services. Wouldn't have it any other way.
--- We had a MAJOR announcement today. We've been approved (barring any unforeseen roadblocks) for our Easter outreach event. As of 4 days ago we didn't think we had a shot at all in doing the event, then one phone call changed everything.
On Saturday, March 15th we are going to be offering one HUGE Easter event. We are doing an Easter egg hunt with a twist. The event will include several easter games for kids ages 3-12, face painting, free balloons, giveaways including a nintendo wii and a video ipod. Then the big shebang. Following the games, activities and giveaways a helicopter is going to fly in and pick up THOUSANDS of easter eggs. It will then hover over the drop zone (egg hunt area) and will drop the thousands of candy and toy filled eggs over the field. Following the drop the kids will be able to rush the field and pick up all the eggs to put in their basket.
It's called The Cheyenne Egg Drop. We'll be sending a mailer out to families in Cheyenne to invite them to the event. We truly hope it will be a BLAST for all who attend and a way for us to serve the people of Cheyenne with a fun Easter event. Start praying now for AWESOME weather. March can be a tricky month for weather in Wyoming. I'll try and post some graphics on here later this week. We'll be getting an egg drop website up too.
