Design and details
We are really looking forward to how we are closing the year out. I love the 2 series we are doing. For Christmas we are doing a series called Believe, and taking a none traditional look at why Jesus came, and why should I believe. Not so much the manger, stars, and wise men. Everyone knows that story but not everyone know WHAT TO DO with that story. So anyways make sure to watch the services online, there will be some good stuff. Here are the graphics I designed for our Thanks:Giving and Believe series. We are also doing a 9000 piece mailer again with the Believe stuff. We design a lot from scratch and use a lot from istockphoto.com as a platform to build from. For printing our rave cards, you can do custom sizing through 48hourprint.com, and for other printing we use psprint.com. Great prices and very quick.

Sunday Afterthoughts
Today was a great day. I know that I say that a lot. But there was something very special about today. Things just gelled today. Not that they havnt before but again there was just a great vibe today. God's presence was evident, worship just flowed and there was a great heart beat of worship to the throne today. Way to go worship team. Jeff delivered a great word, in fact, I dare to say its one of his best. A great close to the "IT" series. Several hands were in the air for first time decisions. I am blown away, when you just give a simple invitation people come running. They are ready and just need to be asked and encouraged. About double the hands went up for people reconsidering where they are at with their relationship with God. It was just a great great service all the way through.
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: we have maxed our capacity at Element Church in the one theater we are in. So through much prayer and exhausting every option, we excitingly announce that we are going to 2 services in two weeks on Dec. 2nd. Service times will be at 9 and 10:30am. We are looking forward to this to keep reaching people for Christ. God keeps bringing them so we want to continue to make room for them. Our volunteers have been so supportive. In fact many of them have said that they will serve both services if we need them. AWESOME. God is good.
We closed out our first series officially as Element Church, and are doing a 2 week mini series called "Thanks:Giving". And then jumping right into a 4 week Christmas series called "Believe", which I am very excited about.
God is doing some great things around here and we are always blown away that God keeps choosing to use us.
Set design today was simple and clean. Our closing core value today was "allegiance" (which was planned over 2 months ago) and it just so happened to fall on Veterans Day, SO GOD LIKE HA. So we ordered a 10 ft X 6ft Flag that flew in the center of the stage with two smaller flags on the sides. Also during a transitional video we mounted 2 fallen soldier displays on the stage. It was very symbolic of our Allegiance to God. EVERYONE SHOULD LISTEN TO TODAYS MESSAGE. www.elementweb.net then click on "Watch and Listen" (wont be online until tuesday). I will post pictures tommorow afternoon.
Set List:
Awesome is the Lord Most High - Chris Tomlin
Famous One - Chris Tomlin
Beauty of the Lord - Jared Anderson (Desperation Band)
Oh Lord Most High - Joel Hatcher
It's all about you/Jesus Lover of my Soul - Passion
Worshipping him,

Element Preview Wrapup
WOW, We made it. Had a great service today. Made some great connections, didn't break any strings, worship went smooth, Jeff preached an incredible message.
--- However, I was very nervous at 7:30 this morning. We were so far behind in setup (which only prooves to have lots of volunteers before you try and plant a church), we couldnt find mics, stands, and light stuff. Then after a stressful week of figuring out our presentation software, the videos loops decide not to work. Needless to say I was stressed.
--- We didnt start rehersal till 9:00 which made for a fast practice, and quick sound check which wasnt producing what we wanted but thanks to great musicians and sound guys it got to where we wanted it.
--- God helped us pull it off, I don't understand how it happens sometimes but it did. Thankyou Jesus.
--- Looking forward to next time and getting smoother and better with everything we do. I am so glad we do preview services before launching. It will make all the difference. Love our team, love serving Jeff, Love Jesus.
--- Look for the video coming Wed.
