1. Things went well this Sunday. Smooth transitions, felt good about the message, increased attendance from last week, and people continue to serve and participate with enthusiasm.
2. We had one small blooper. Jeff began showing a video that I decided not to use again. However, I forgot to tell him. All my fault. He was able to transition out of it smoothly because: a. He’s just a great guy. b. He happened to catch my “cut it off signal” from aaallll the way on the top row of the theater. c. ProPresenter allows you to transition from one video to another without any problems or delays whatsoever. Investing in a MacBook and ProPresenter is probably the best thing we could have done for our Sunday morning environment. I don’t know how we could do it without them. Seriously.
3. The band donated danishes on Sunday. It’s great to see that they feel a part of what we do. God has blessed us with some great and faithful musicians.
4. I can’t wait to start Tough Love next week. The Creative Team and some other committed volunteers participated in a video shooting of improv skits for the series. For many of them, this will be their “big screen” debut. I gotta say it. They held it down like pros! I’m anxious to see the finished product.
5. Tons of people have signed up for The Open House! We surpassed our goal of 20. Thus far, about 40 people have expressed interest. Next week, we’ll see how many of those people actually show up!
