Untouchables and Frisbee

Untouchables starts tommorow. THis has been one of those series we planned from the beginning where you are like "that is for ever away". Well here it is. The anticipated series of untouchables is here. Jeff will be takling 4 topics often untouched in the church today, ABORTION, DRINKING, HOMOSEXUALITY, and DIVORCE. We are offering a 5th week questions week, where we will be taking your questions about untouchable subjects over the course of this series. You can email your questions to questions@elementweb.net. You won't want to miss this great summer series.
Here is the promo:

AGHHH!! (sigh of relief)

That is the feeling I have right now between getting lost on foot downtown D.C., & having an AK-47 flashed at me at the pentagon & the 1 hour car drive lost on 3 different interstates, and now I am in my bed. LOL.

Jeff and I had a great time today running around D.C. getting to see all the history of our nation. Before we left Curtis (our youth pastor) warned us not to drive into D.C. but to find the metro and only use that. Did we listen, NOPE! Should we have, YUP! When we got into D.C. we couldn't find any where to park so we pulled over and asked a traffic officer, he stared at us and said "there is not parking", we laughed, he pointed at our car and said "that was a bad choice". LOL. So we headed back out of town looking for a parking garage and a metro, which we eventually found.

We got to see the washington monument, lincoln memorial, white house, capitol, Vietnam wall of names, and so much more. A funny story is that we were at the end of our tour and decided we should go and see the pentagon. Great Idea I thought. We got out of the metro and there was literally NO WHERE to go. We walked down a side walk and saw four police officers with AK-47's and said "MAN", saw a bus stop and decided to walk around the building. We saw where the plane hit on 911 and so I thought it was a great idea to get my camera out. No later did I get my camera out, a MEAN security gaurd flashed his AK-47 and headed toward me. He said "did you take a picture" I said "NO" he said "DON'T", Jeff said "sorry we didn't know", he said "I JUST WARNED YOU". HAHAHHA LOL! I said "OK SEE YA" and we headed home. LOL.

We got to see so much stuff, it was great. Its hard to believe I am here. This has been such a great weekend I am so tired right now, we walked all over today and my feet hurt bad. There is a picture in this slide show below of an escalator we rode that had to have been like 200 feet NO JOKE!

We are heading out in the morning very early, so I am off to bed. More on actual White Board quotes starting MONDAY in a blog series I'll do called "WiBo Quotes", LOL. Really deep I know!

I can't wait to worship with you all in cheyenne sunday morning, come ready to meet with God.



Tired,
Adam

WiBo is done

what a day! My word! This had to be one of the greatest conferences I have ever attended. 8 speakers 30 minutes a piece. They were each given 30 minute time slots to share their one current passion for the church. O my, I feel like I am having a brain over load of great stuff. I don't want to post all my thoughts right now so I will reserve them for later on this weekend. All I know right now is every pastor that spoke had on a "cool t-shirt". So the joke was "we need to find the coolpastorshirts.com website".

I am posting pics of the conference below. Going to see Indiana Jones. I will add more later tnite maybe. I hope you all are ok with all the tornadoes. That's crazy.



encouraged,
adam

lets get there early!

HA. well its friday morning and what a great night sleep I got knowing that DAVID COOK won BABY. YEAH. I thought it was wrapped up in the bag for little ARCHY! I told Jeff I was mad how the judges were ripping on Cook and then he goes and wins and not only wins but slaughters by 12 million votes. yeah.

Woke up at 6 today, ate an amazing breakfast at the hotel and then headed off to the Hyatt where wibo is.



The band is sound checking for worship this morning and it sounds amazing.
Just saw Michael from Oakleaf, LOL, crazy, all these guys that we follow.

Alright I will update you all through out the day on the wibo goods.

adam

Do we belong!

WOW! Is the words to describe what Jeff and I are getting to do. We are in D.C. for the next 3 days for a conference called Whiteboard, featuring alot of the pastors that we follow on their blogs. We flew in about 5 o clock and checked into our hotel, which is out of this world. When we arrived here they immediately upgraded our room for no apparent reason. I posted pictures below.

I am so anxious for tommorow. So much good stuff that we will be able to eat up. We walked over to the hotel where the conference is being held and all the pastors were standing right there in the lobby chatting it up, I felt like a little kid in a candy store, LOL, oohh Jeff look there is "so and so", lol. So we sat down close enough to see them and far enough away not to look like we wanted to touch them, HA. Pray for us tommorow that God will download into our hearts His continued vision for element church through what some of these guys share.

Alright here is the pics of the hotel and some random D.C. shots. I will post more tommorow.

adam

Set List May 18th

This week was a lot of fun. We did all hymns. I wasn't real sure how it would all turn out, but it went well. The band rocked out those songs. Great job. We made them very elementish. Its funny how some people are sold on hymns as the only true way of worship and here we have guys in our church in love with Jesus that have never heard a single one of those songs we played.

All Hail the Power of Jesus Name/Raise up the crown - Chris Tomlin
Holy Holy Holy - Steven Curtis Chapman
Come thou Fount - Gateway
Fairest - New Life Church
My chains are gone - Tomlin

Jeff and I will be heading out to D.C. tommorow for a conference. I am very excited. I have never been to the east coast and this summer I get to go twice.

Hey for all of you out there that are ready for some "ULTIMATE FRISBEE" it is starting this Sunday at 2:00pm. If you have never played, COME anyways, it is a lot of fun. We will play this week at Holiday park off of Lincolnway and then we can discuss a better park for next time.

I love being your worship pastor,

Can't wait for sunday,
Adam
