Sunday Night Mind Dump

Mind Dump, Revolution Church — Gary on December 23, 2007 at 7:53 pm
  • What a DAY!!!!!
  • Second service was SLAMMED!!! Highest attendance since around Easter!!!
  • Hands down, one of the worst services ever during 9:00 a.m. service. We were not in the grove. #1 priority for the new year is get our mojo back at 9.
  • Hands down, one of the BEST services we have ever had during our 10:30 service. The place was slammed, we made some huge adjustments from the first service, and we hit a grand slam.
  • About 6 months ago, Stonecreek Church gave us a TON of stuff including some VERY nice signs. We use them every week and they are awesome. Today, we had awful weather and about 10 minutes of crazy, crazy wind and it blew the front of the sign off at the entrance. So the sign said Stonecreek Church instead of Revolution. This has never happened before.  The funny thing was Steven Gibbs, the pastor of Stonecreek was in our service this morning. :) The funnier thing was our people ready to go lynch someone at Stonecreek because they thought they put it in front of our theater. :)
  • Glo-sticks. Nuff said
  • The energy in the second service today was insane.
  • Love doing communion.
  • All is right with the world. After a week of waiting, Kathy Knight’s cookie platter showed up this morning. I have been waiting since last Christmas for that!!!  I kid you not, they cookies are all already gone.
  • We are all working today at the office, getting ready for January 6th so we can be off until January 2nd.
  • NO Church next Sunday!!! Enjoy the Sunday off.
  • We took up our Next Step Offering today. I didn’t know what to expect with the economy like it is.
  • Honestly, I had no idea and for the first time ever, I didn’t know if we would raise what was needed to purchase the needed equipment to allow us to go multi-site.
  • Did I mention that I didn’t know what to expect?
  • This morning, the people of Revolution Church gave
  • $71,092.82!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME????????????? That is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!
  • We are now going to be able to pay CASH for everything needed to capture videos for us to launch multiple campuses. That includes cameras, computers, and a TON of stuff I don’t even understant. We are also going to be able to make MASSIVE improvements to our Canton campus. I am literally shocked and overwhelmed by the people of Revolution. You guys blow me away!!!!!
  • I am actually looking forward to hanging out with our students at the ski trip this week!!!!!
  • Christmas Eve tomorrow at the office at 4:00 p.m. We got 250 dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts to pass out to those working on Christmas Eve.
  • We had our staff Christmas party tonight.  VERY low key affair, but it was nice to just hang out with people who make Revolution happen.
  • Ch-ch-ch-Changes at Revolution in 2008.  We got some new blood coming on staff and that is always exciting.
  • I still don’t feel like it is Christmas
  • SO many new people lately that it is crazy.
  • I can always tell when people start buying into the vision of Revolution because they change from saying it is my church to saying it is their church.  They go from saying me to saying we.  I love that.
  • I got a Stryper pillow today.  Awesome!!!
  • We have some hurting people and that hurts me.  I hate to see our people going through hard times.
  • Looks like I am going to win the loser bracket of our fantasy football league.  I am the king of the losers. :)
  • God is stirring me on some big time things about how we are going to help other churches this next year.
  • Taylor is filling in some huge areas right now and I am super proud of her!!!
  • As people were coming down to take communion today, I just sat back and watched person after person who has have had their live changed while attending Revolution.  I’m far from perfect and we have done a lot wrong at Revolution but seeing the lives that have been impacted make it ALL worth it.
  • I am worn out and I am going home and going to bed.
  • See everyone at the warehouse tomorrow night!!!
