Sunday thoughts

• Noah and Adam both got base hits this weekend! I am proud of them. But, I’m still ready for baseball season to end. Does that make me a bad parent?
• I am worn out! I don’t know how you guys multiple services do it. I believe that is in our future and I am excited and nervous about it. I want to do whatever it takes to reach our city. Even if it means being completely wrung out.
• The Glory Fine Arts production of Creation this weekend was amazing! The Saturday performance looked like it was full or pretty close to it and yesterday’s matinée was about 75% full. Abbye and her team are absolutely amazing.
  

  

  
  Abbye and Carolyn will much more in-depth posts about the production later. Until then, check out more of Millie’s pics HERE. I love being a part of a church that uses all of the arts to worship our God.

• Matthew proposed to his sweetheart Jennifer Roush yesterday and she said YES! I don’t know what he did to trick her. But, whatever he did, it worked. You can see more pics over on Millie’s blog. Hey Matthew, remember that you are not married yet. Keep your lips to yourself. Congratulations! I am proud of you both.
• There was a good feel to the service this morning. I believe we are tracking right where God wants us.
• Today I started our series I Serve and kicked it off by telling our church family that our church is not for you. You are the church and you are for the World. I then challenged the long-time consumers in our church to stop it and become contributors. I believe it hit home.
• I had a couple after church, with tears in their eyes, ask me to forgive them because they had been coming to The ROCK for 7 years and had never plugged in to serve! They asked how they could get plugged in. WOW! Hang on ROCKERS! We are taking off!
• I also heard that Millie is absolutely swamped with work. I know why. She is absolutely one of the best photographers… ever. But, instead of staying home to work, she came to church this morning and sat in the lobby so she could edit photos and listen to me preach! You go Mills!
• After church today, a bunch of us headed over to the Greek Festival and ate until we just about exploded. I love Greek food.
  
  
• Then Terri broke out her portable adjusting table and adjusted us all in the front yard. Terri is AWESOME!
• It has been a very full weekend. I can’t wait until next week. More exciting announcements coming over the next few weeks.
