- Church yesterday was good. Attendance was down from usual (students are gone), offering was up (students are gone
). - Josh, the opening manager for yesterday, overslept. We got into the building at 10:55am. By the way, we start at 11am. Yesterday, we started around 11:20. We literally went unplugged. No equipment at all. Ian and I both had to project. Hey it happens in portable church planting.
- Ian’s set was pretty good, though we were both a little frazzled from the setup. Here’s the set list:
- Prodigal by Ian Meeks
- Love Song for a Savior by Jars of Clay
- How Great is Our God by Chris Tomlin
- Not a big fan of Tomlin, but Ian played it different (fingerpicking it). Sounded good, different, and really got the people singing, which is harder to do at an unplugged service. Ian’s song, Prodigal, was definitely cool too. I’m excited to have him writing. But we do miss Pablo.
- We had our first family yesterday! They were the Vicks, of heart art fame. They had two children, Aaron and Isaac (10, and 7 respectively). I met them at an Uptown Greenville social, and I’m stoked that they came! It was good to see kids in the service.
- Doug and April, a married couple who work on campus, came back. It was good to see them again. They are looking to move away from our beautiful city, but hey, to each his own. We’re glad to have them for the time being.
- Overall a great day!
- Next week should be awesome, with Matthew Lilley coming to lead us in worship. Should be great stuff. And his facial hair is infinitely cooler than mine…
