Sunday in the Rearview

What a weekend. I packed, I moved, I churched (I’m sure that’s not a word!), I met, I dodgeballed, I crashed. Here’s the quickest recap of my day that I can muster…

• At church @ 7:30AM.
• Did announcements in all three services.
• Not sure of total attendance. Looked great for a holiday weekend. We had 102 in student ministries. Not too bad for a Sunday attendance.
• Services had good energy. 830 was not so much, but the other 2 melted my face.
• We very tired/hungover from moving over the weekend.
• Saw tons of new faces. Met a lot of them…great people. The Creek has the best people.
• Taught in Varisty (high school group). We had around 50something students in there. It was a good vibe. I taught as a large group but them at strategic points circled them up in groups with leaders & questions about a point. They also had fill in the blank sheets & most of them were filling them in. It was VERY INTERACTIVE in there. Great responses/feedback from the kids. I loved that. Several of them talked about how much they liked it.
• Spent some time just hanging out with people in our new commons area(s). I love those spaces. So functional. So relational.
• Met with the new leaders/point couple for our college ministry during the 1130 service. They will do well.
• Noticed a few things I want to work on with our children’s check-in.
• Met with around 10 college students over lunch. Sort of a core/launch team for the new ministry. It’s going to be called FOUR:TWELVE. After 1 Tim 4:12. I like it & what we can do with it marketing wise. They are a passionate, driven, opinionated, raw, loving, mature, worshipful group of kids. I love them so much.
• They all came to the new house after we met and just sat around talking and laughing. We were tired, but it was fun.
• At 5PM I went to our youth dodgeball tourney. I don’t really know how many kids were there. I would probably say close to 50. With adults it was a lot more. We had a BLAST. I’m actually sore. Guess I’m older than I want to let on. We have GREAT students. The best I’ve had in years. We have INCREDIBLE adult leaders. Bob Ford, Mike & Kristy Burns, Amanda Boling, Rob Husted, Sammy, and several parents helped out. I’m telling you THE GREATEST student ministry in the country.
• Came home, cleaned up, ate, and watched ENCHANTED with my entire family laying in my bed. Great cap to a great day.
• Slept like a beast.
