What a Sunday…

Whew! What a day! Man this was a HUGE Sunday for us @ the Creek. Here are some quick things that we started or that happened today…

• We went to 3 Sunday morning services. 8:30. 10. 11:30.
• I was nervous about 830 but it was great. Attendance looked like a normal Wed night crowd, they had great energy. 10 was PACKED. 1130 was PACKED.
• Parking went very well. I was also nervous about this considering we had a shorter turnaround time between services.
• Marty knocked it out of the park today. He was bit racy talking about sex and stuff. He also went a wee bit long. It will take us all time to learn the new service format/time. Of course, he’s the boss, so he can do whatever the heck he wants!
• We had great teams giving tours between the services. I was so proud of my team walking people through the student area. They were more excited than the people looking around.
• Big props to people on our Host Team today. I noticed several of them giving random/spur of the moment tours to people. Mike Adams probably gave 12 tours today to new families. He’s the man!
• Tons of BRAND NEW faces.
• We saw the results of putting up billboards this past week.
• Next week a mailer goes out, so we should have an even larger crowd next week.
• Had a backed up line with the kids check-in. There are several reasons. Some our fault, some out of our control. Through it all Allyson Campbell did a MONSTERS JOB of leading the way through that. She’s such an asset to our team.
• People were in AWE of the the building. It was neat watching everyone walk through the front doors.
• Great watching the kids walk through our new Elem wing. It’s like freakin’ Disney.
• The best thing about today is that it wasn’t even the grand opening and there was this much buzz. Next week will be SICK.
• Had a great meeting with our leadership team for the Fall. Great things planned for student ministries. 39 adults showed up to work with our students. Several of my core team were out & we had a bunch of new faces! Woo Hoo.
• I am so blessed to have a church family like I do, to serve alongside a staff that is also a bunch of best friends, to have the incredible volunteer team with me that I do, to have the greatest friends in the world, to have the family that I do, and to be able to worship my Lord in a worry free, religion free and coat & tie free environment! I love our church.

Creekers who read this: start inviting your friends NOW for next week. Don’t put it off. Use the buzz from today to your advantage and make the call, send the email, of facebook them. Go for it. If you need tools to help, come by the church in the morning and grab some invite cards. This is our season…let’s go for it!
