ARGHH!!!!!!!!!
Before I rant, let me say that I love church planting and my worst day planting RSC is better then my best day doing anything else. I even love being portable. I have been in portable church now for 8 years. For me there is something very New Testament about it. I actually dig it.
However there are days like today where being portable is a pain in the butt!
1.) We have confirmed due to the summer schedule that for May, June, and July we have to go back to one service. This drives me nuts, but it is all good. Starting with Spiderman 3, they will be starting movies at 11:30 a.m. during the summer. With one service at 10:00 that is cutting close. With two services and the last one starting at 10:30, it is impossible. So for the summer we will go back to one service. We can bring in probably 75-100 folding chairs if we need them and we can due live worship in another theater with the sermon video cast in if we need that as well.
2.) We are at war with our office complex. We are the ONLY renters in the building, everyone else owns. and after 18 months of renting the place and there being NO fire system, NO outside lights, NO ONE cutting the grass, NO ONE cleaning the trash they finally decided to form a owners associtation. Since we don’t own, we can’t go to the meetings. The decision from the meetings is that we are to blame for everything. On top of that they are concerned we are having “hundreds” of people here at night. I wish that was the case but our teens run about 50 kids spread over two different services. So now we are dealing with a group trying to get us ousted.
It is just one of those days where I wish we had our own building. However come Sunday when the theater is packed out, I’ll be reminded WHY we are portable and I will love it again. 
I LOVE CHURCH PLANTING!!!!!
