Sunday Afterthoughts and a new office

Hey friends,
Well I am sitting here in my new office recapping yesturday. We hired a receptionist (PAM) and so Terri was getting moved out to the garage for her office. So I decided that wasn't cool and that she should have my office. So a few came into the office and moved all my stuff out to the garage and painted Terri's new office some really BRIGHT colors and moved all her stuff in on Friday night. Saturday she came in and was completely surprised. Loved it, cause I was at a conference with my wife and Terri all day Saturday and she had no clue. We love you Terri. We honestly could not survive as a church if Terri wasn't here.

Yesturday was a great day. The weather was amazing. God's presence was all over our service. People worshipped and were set free from life long struggles. God is so good.

4 people made decisions for Christ and let me say again that is what this is all about. God really moved in our service.

371 was our attendance. We are excited to launch our 3rd service starting March 16th. We hope this will enable us to continue to reach more people for Christ. E: coustic is going to be an acoustic service, but that doesn't mean it will be a boring service. Its going to be done well, I am really excited about it.

We finished Satan's Sex Ed this week. What a series it was. We were all nervous going into this, but God has just pulled through in a huge way. People responded well and really engaged and enjoyed this series. I hope it was a help to all of you. We will have the complete SERIES packs available this sunday.

We finally got our tshirts and sweatshirts in, so if you missed sunday make sure you come this week to get your free tshirt and the sweatshirts for $15.

We had a huge announcement about our big easter outreach. This is still contingent on city code and a few things but we hope it goes through.

YES you see that right. We are dropping thousands of eggs from the sky via a helicopter. Its going to be out of this world. 15,000 easter egg hunt. Cheyenne will not want to miss this.

Heroes starts this week. We are really excited about this series. "Ordinary people living Extraordinary lives". If we pull off the set design its going to be fantastic. *BY THE WAY -- WE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR CREATIVE PEOPLE. IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN HELPING WITH OUR SET DESIGNS EACH SERIES, PLEASE EMAIL ME AT adam@elementweb.net. WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE SOME HELP IN THAT AREA.

NEW SERIES PROMOTIONS!

Since Jeff already spoiled it then I guess I have to also! Our next series is going to be sweet. My all time favorite show right now is LOST (I HAVE A SICK ADDICTION TO IT), however 2nd in running is HEROES some of the best TV ever. Anyways that is our next series, talking about "Ordinary People living Extraordinary Lives". These are the graphics I put together. We are working on a really cool set design for this series. You'll just have to wait 2 weeks to see it.

Worshipping Him,

Element Resources!

This week I got all of our videos that we have done here at element church up on the site. Transitionals, promo's, and our SEARCH MINI SERIES we did for our Preview Services. Any church that wants to use them has our permission. If you are an elementer and havn't seen our Search Videos you should. They were a lot of fun and was our biggest video production we have ever done. I will be adding all of our series graphics to the site also, to use for print and such.

Sunday Afterthoughts Feb 10th, 2008

OH MY! I told Jeff today back at the office while we were unloading, "what now"? God obviously and most definently knows more than we do but man do I hope he shows us soon! 372 today, YEAH, 372. I told Jeff last week in the office, after having 313 last week, that in a FEW weeks when we hit 350 we have a problem, cause we would literally max out the theater. HA didn't realize that would be the following week and 20 some over that. 2nd service people were standing along side of the theater and sitting all over the floor on the sides. We had over 200 second service and the theater maxes at 180. So I guess you could say God has a plan. LOL. It's just the toughest part when you are waiting!

We had some fun today as a worship team! It seemed to be a struggle to get anything to go right. We added a new guitar player "NATHAN", who by the way is a fantastic guitar player and I feel like it really solidified our sound. Made it bigger, more professional, just made is well done. Back to the struggle, the opening song I forgot to put the capo on (which around here is an often experience, HA), and "B" (our drummer) had already started playing but I wasnt ready so yeah he just STOPPED. AWKWARD! Then the second song AGAIN I forgot my capo and so I made a big strum on that first chord and WOW did that sound pretty when the rest of the band was in a different key. I could have walked off stage then but I new I had to finish HA. THEN, yeah THEN, Nathan started the next song and his guitar was completely out of tune. OTHER than all that worship was GREAT! HAHA. Seriously it was good. We just had to laugh it all off and try better 2nd service, which by the way went fine. It was funny though cause my prayer this morning was "God help us focus on you and not being perfect on stage", I guess he answered that one.

Jeff again, preached a phenom message on SEX targeted towards our teens, however it applies to us all. Again this series has blown me away at how God is using it to set people free. It was great to have a youth group of about 6 come and visit us today. I love having a church that teens enjoy coming to.

A new CD just came out for all of you WORSHIP FANATICS out there: PASSION: GOD OF THIS CITY. Make sure to itune it this week. Its great.

Well I guess we keep this thing going, PLEASE don't stop inviting people. We will find a place for everyone. Also we have some room in first service so if you can, come join us for 1st service to free up some room in 2nd.

Element Church Sunday Afterthoughts 2-3-08

GO GIANTS! That had to be the best superbowl I have ever seen. I honestly didn't think they had it in them but I am so glad they stuck with it.

We tackled one of the toughest subjects in the church that I ever had. I felt for Jeff cause he was the one that had to stand up there and present it. ELEMENT we are so blessed to have Jeff leading this church. Working next to him on a daily basis I get to see how passionate he is for you and offering LIFE to everyone who comes through those doors.

We tackeled Satans 6 biggest sex lies, to expose him for who he is. People are finding freedom. 2 people found LIFE, making decisions for Christ. And several people raised their hands for freedom.

I will post some pics this week of set design and series graphics.

313 in church today, which means contiuned growth which means we are looking for our next location here at Element Church. Very excited about that. More to come.

SET LIST FEB. 3rd:
I will never stop- Michael Gungor
Blessed be your name- Matt Redman
The Stand/Mighty to Save- United
Wrap me in your arms- Lisa Gungor
Come and Rescue- Adam Cruz
