Well, today was our first Sunday and I have to tell you I was totally stoked. I woke up at 4 a.m. and couldn’t get back to sleep. I laid there in bed thinking and praying about the upcoming day and the events that would be taking place. Finally I got out of bed to get ready and look over my lesson one more time.
We had a couple technical glitches that were easily overcome, which when you’re a mobile church you get used to that kind of stuff. We even had our coffee maker do some really weird things, and is now in the big coffee shop in the sky. My buddy Nate (not me, another Nate) made a quick run to Wal-Mart to get us a new coffee maker.
A small group of people from Rising Sun Church in Des Moines came up to help us staff the kids area. Get this … the preacher at Rising Sun (a several hundred member congregation) had the day off and came up to work in our Kids Church. Talk about a servant’s heart. Very cool, Doug!
Long story short, even though we set everything up differently today than we did at last week’s practice service, the setup went on without a hitch. We got it set up and ready with plenty of time to spare. I’m really proud of our people.
I was starting to freak out a little bit with 5 minutes to go before the service wishing more people were there, but with about 2 minutes to go there was a mad rush at the front door. Several people even came in late, and we ended the day with an official count of 110! I was very pleased with the turnout and got to meet some very cool people. I wish I could have sat down with each and every one of them to hear their story, but obviously wasn’t able to do it. God is gonna be doing some great things through us and I’m really looking forward to meeting many more people.
Next Sunday be at the Ames Middle School at 10 a.m. for some more great music and a lesson on beating addictions. Setup starts at 8 a.m.
Anyway, I’m beat so I’m going to bed. I’ll sleep good tonight!
