Hey Element Church! Three services took it's toll on my today more than any. I am worn out today. Not sure what the difference is. We had GREAT services today. Here is my rumination on the day.
--- We had no worship guides or connection cards today. Poor Curtis took them home on Friday night so he and his wife could stuff the guides with the connection cards. Somewhere between then and this morning, he put them on top of his wife's car, who then drove off with them on the car. Somewhere in Cheyenne someone knows A LOT about Element Church. Heather was rummaging through dumpsters in the area this morning looking for them. Needless to say it was quite the morning for them two. I gave Curtis a hard time about it from the platform. He took it like a champ.
--- Speaking of Curtis. He is leading Varsity Fusion tonight in a Random Act of Kindness that my wife and I are DEFINITELY taking advantage of. For 2 hours they are watching Element Kids so their parents can go on a date. HOOK ME UP! That link I posted goes to Curtis' blog. They are doing a fantastic job leading Fusion.
--- 502 in worship today. WOW! Folks, that blows my mind.
--- Had a noon movie again today. With our growth and the movie times something is gonna have to change. Announcement coming? We'll see!
--- Road Crew tear down was AMAZING today. The noon movie was not in our theater but a 12:30 one was. We were out the door by 12:10. People were walking in with their popcorn and sodas as we were closing the door.
--- I thought the worship set Adam put together was GREAT! I felt the "theme" of the set was Adams best as far as themeing everything together. We sang I Can Only Imagine and people seemed to really engage in that one.
--- It sure seems people are beginning to experience freedom in worship. Just seeing more and more people engage physically and emotionally to the worship.
--- Started our Eternity series today. Talked about Heaven. I felt it went really well. I was struggling earlier this week putting something together since it is such a HUGE topic. I ended up feeling great about it leading into today and after today.
--- Next week will be tough. Tackling the subject of hell. The reality of it according to Scripture.
--- We had a better turnout in e:coustic today. That service hasn't grown like I'd like thus far but we saw some good growth from last week. I think we had around 50 in there today. Only 33 last week. It's helped alleviate a little pressure in the other services. We could use some more road crew help in there to set up. If you're interested you can email me.
--- Sundays fly by for me with the craziness of the three service transitions. I start out in our main worship center then head over to e:coustic at 7:30 to help the road crew there. By the way, to the guys who are helping in e:coustic, YOU ARE DOING AWESOME! Keep it up. Then we tear down and we're out. Amazing how quickly it goes by. Hard to imagine we are at the theater for 6 hours on a given Sunday.
--- I can't say this enough...All the Element volunteers are incredible! You guys make Sunday morning what it is.
--- Love serving and leading you guys. Thanks for allowing me the pleasure of doing it.
Following Christ,
Jeff
