easter

this easter was one of those sundays we will never forget. PRAY DANGEROUS PRAYERS AND PARTNER WITH GOD AND THEN WATCH.

We really sensed God was urging us to pray some specific prayers for easter sunday! God exceeded all those prayers in incredible ways.

1217 people came to element. 2nd service was out of control. I was finishing our closing song and they were still trying to pack people into the worship center. LOVE IT.

35 people STOOD to their feet, giving their lives over to Christ. AMAZING. SIMPLY AMAZING.

We built a 24 x 8 foot Flannel Graph and told the easter story. It was a very creative and powerful approach. STEVE AND CHRISTINA, thanks so much for all your hard work on the creative team side of things.

I am really excited about our new series starting May 3rd called LIFE'S TOUGHEST QUESTIONS. We will be answering questions that all of us rassel with from time to time. You can email your questions to questions@elementweb.net.

Set List:
Happy Day - Tim Hughes
Sweetly Broken - Jeremy Riddle
Jesus Messiah - Chris Tomlin
Salvation is Here - Hillsong United

HOME

What a great Easter we had at Element Church. It was a little nerve racking at first when our Theater Employee that lets us in did not show. So we had to practially break into the theater so we could get setup.

528 in church easter sunday. That is incredible. I do not believe it when I think about it. If someone asked me where I thought we would be after 5 months of church I would have said, um I hope we have a good solid group of 50 with the possibility of maybe reaching like 150 or so. 528 NO WAY!

27 salvations on sunday. Everytime people ask how the church is going, I say people are finding their way home. It blows me away that over 70 people have come into relationship with Jesus at Element Church. WHY DO I GET TO BE A PART OF THIS!

Jeff did a really cool illustration this week for his message. It will be online probably at the end of the week.

Amber and I were able to come back to sheridan for a few days and it has been so relaxing, just seeing some old friends.

Short but sweet,
Peace out element,

Set List for Easter Sunday,
My Savior Lives - New Life Church

At the Cross - Hillsongs United
My Chains are Gone - Chris Tomlin

Worshipping Him,

UPDATE

WOW sorry I have not blogged for a long time. With a Volunteer Banquet, Dropping 25,000 easter eggs from the sky, going to 3 services, and buying a house that I painted every night for the last 2 weeks, I have not had time to blog.

We launched 3 services last week, which went phenomenal. We have an incredible Road Crew who set that whole service up.
Our e:coustic service was a good feel. It was actually a really relaxing service.

Our egg drop was unreal. You can view the video here. Over 2000 people showed up, 60 some volunteers and 2 helicopters. I was great.

Easter is this sunday and I am nervous if we will have enough room. I am praying that we pack that place out, all 3 services.

I still need to post pics of our new house, its coming together. If anyone likes to paint, feel free to come paint. HA.

I don't do this often but I just loaded my itunes with a bunch of new stuff so here is a music update if your looking for something new:
Jared Anderson - Where Faith Comes From
Lee Mcderment - A matchlight in the dark
Jon Foreman (lead guy for SWITCHFOOT) - Acoustic EP (Fall and Winter)
Pillar - For the love of the game

Set List for Sunday March 16th,
Let God Arise - Chris Tomlin
Beautiful Jesus - Kristian Stanfill
Nothing But the Blood/I could sing of your love forever - Element arrangement
