Well... it's started to slow down now... we have slowly gone from 140 to 80... That's ok though... It would be amazing if we stayed at 140, or continued from that number to grow. 80 is still a great number to have for a brand spankin new church...
Our past few Sunday's haven't gone very smooth... part of me wonders if that's the reason for the drop... i don't know... it just seems like we go over stuff over and over... and it just won't come out the way that it was supposed to...
Last Sunday was a roller coaster of emotions for me... it was an extremly frustrating Sunday due to people committing, then backing out... then deciding they had committed to be there so they are going to stick around... this all from one person... had a text come in at 8 am from one of the band members backing out on THAT Sunday... then later (after practice that Sunday) we find out he IS coming... if it hadn't been for Heath he probably wouldn't have played...
The electric guitarist and bassist for this Sunday are two guys that have never played with us before... that should be interesting... I'm so ready to get musicians that are committed to being there each and every Sunday... and I don't have to hope and pray that they don't text me 2 hrs before the service to tell me they aren't going to be there...
We had a guy come in from what could be considered our "mentor church." He was amazed at where we were... He said, out of the new church plants that he has been to, out of those that had not been sponsored by another church, we were the farthest along that he had seen. That's pretty awesome... He gave some good suggestions for the church overall... and some for the band... he did say that the band (and myself) are doing a great job! So that's pretty sweet...
We go to two services this coming Sunday! That should be interesting, fun, draining... and a whole host of other emotions that come to mind when I remember my two service days at Victory... Hopefully... because I enjoy what I'm doing more it won't have the same drain on my system as it did back then...
Wow... long post! Sorry!! Thanks for not just turning me off! :-)
Greater things are yet to come!
