Sunday Recap 7.19.09
I know I sound like a broken record, and I know a day will come when things will be hard, but my life is really fun right now! I love Sundays. Setup is fun (though hard at times), teardown is fun (though hot at times), and the service is just a blast. I’m so thankful for the people I get to live life with right now!
- Week 3 today of our Prayer series. We looked at John 17 again and saw how Jesus prayed for His disciples. Continue to pray for protection from division, protection from falling away, an experience of joy, a life of purity, and an understanding of mission. All of these things are elements we’d love to see woven into our DNA as a church. And, we can be the answer to Jesus’ prayer by living out each one.
- I thought the band nailed the worship set today. I think the set was so much of who we want to be musically. Great job by Tyler P., A. Dibb, Carson, Josh, and Jessica.
- Tyler and Emily Rhoton join us next week, and I can’t wait. He won’t be leading in the service until the following week, but I can’t wait for our people to get a chance to meet them.
- Just for the record, I do think car dealers can go to heaven =). You had to be there.
- Unbelievable temperatures here in good old East TN this weekend. Teardown was bearable today.
- Great crowd today. Always fun when the house is full. Correction: usually fun when the house is full.
- Spent a while this afternoon watching the British Open. Fun to watch. Congrats to my Twitter buddy @stewartcink. What? You don’t think he knows who I am because I follow him on Twitter?
- Then spent some time doing sprints for the first time in a long time. Observations: I’m old. I’m slow. I jar a lot when I exert myself. I gotta get back in shape. I don’t think I could run a 40 in less than 7 seconds.
- Our kids volunteers are so incredible. Some people stepped up in a huge way today. You guys rock!
I’m out of energy now. Have a great week! It’s gonna be a full one for us: moving into an office and ordering a church management system. Wow. I love making progress!
