what a day!!

Jeff is gone, party in the office. HA.
Jeff had the opportunity to go and offer his expertise to a great friend who is planting a church in Boise, ID. He is part of a team of pastors that are rallying with Dusty in his plant of Connections Church.

Man yesterday was tough. I recently read a blog about a pastor having a bad experience at starbucks and how they completely took care of everything and apologized for the bad experience, and how many times he should apologize for a bad experience at his church for various reasons. Not sure it was that bad but from staff perspectives we had a rough day. I was very sick all weekend. God gave me much grace to get thru. It was so stupid hot on the stage I felt like I might pass out. In fact I heard several comments after service in regards to weather I would make it or not. LOL. The my pedal board went out and so there was no electric guitar for our entire set second service. Nate did a phenom job stepping up and leading while I tweaked stuff to get something back in my guitar. When the guitar finally came back it was so out of tune I might as well have started dancing and spinning in circles and it would have been less distracting. HA. OK maybe not so bad, but you get the point.

We will have those days and you just learn to push thru.

Jeff has done such a great job with this series, UNTOUCHABLES. Make sure if you haven't listened to each week that you grab a copy online or in our lobby. Also remember to turn in your questions to questions@elementweb.net this week so that Jeff can tackle them on sunday.

We launch our new series coming in a couple weeks which is going to be one you won't want to miss. More details to come.

Superday is this Saturday. Please come help us volunteer as we provide inflatable games and a Baby Station for families in cheyenne.

Alright back to work.

Sunday Afterthoughts

Here are some thoughts from the day.

Today, 1 year ago, marks the first gathering as element church in preparation for our Launch in October. We met at the holiday inn for a very stripped down approach to a service, called unplugged. We casted vision and developed our core team with these weekly gatherings until oct 7th. Great memories.

Jeff tackled the subject of alcohol today as part of our untouchables series. He did a great job. Quote of the day yesturday for me was, "Changing your behavior does not make you a christian, but in becoming a christian your behavior will change".

We had a full house yesterday, I wasn't sure if 2nd service was even going to be able to contain everyone. Its great to see all of you coming out thru our summer series. Most churches on average decline over the summer with all kinds of various reasons. It doesn't have to be that way.

Last night I jumped in a van with a group of Highschool/College students for a nice relaxing evening of some ROCK N ROLL in Denver, CO. I have never seen Emery or The Almost live, it was very good.

Worship Set for June 8th,
What I want - Chris Daughtry
Happy Day - Tim Hughes
