Apparently nobody told a whole lot of people that you’re supposed to slack off and skip out on worship on Labor Day weekend.  Our attendance was off a little, but I was very encouraged by the number of folks who showed up.  And we had ourselves some church.  I liked it so much I think I’ll go back next Sunday.  Some thoughts from the morning.

• Is it just me, or has our Worship Team cranked it out better and better every Sunday lately?  I know I’m repeating myself (if you’ve read this blog before), but I like worshiping under the leadership of people who have an authentic love for Jesus.  And our Worship Team does.
• We were without lots of our college students today, and I missed them.  I’d have gone home for the long weekend too.  But I missed them.
• LOVE “Bad Guys of the Bible” videos.  Don’t know who thought up mega-fro’d Samson with his mega-hotness, but hat’s off to whoever did.
• And the “Heroes” Volunteer video (with more to come).  Kyle Fullwood will now be called Videographer Extraordinaire.  Seriously, our volunteers ARE the heroes of The ROCK.
• I’m going to like the Rebels series.   Samson, Caleb, John the Baptizer, Jesus.  Rebels all.  How about you?  Rebel or conformist?  How addicted are you to affirmation & acceptance by others?
• We announced some fund-raisers today, and I don’t particularly like fund-raisers. But when they are fun, I do.  The craziness of a church raffling off a shotgun fits us to a T.  And we’re prepping for the Mother of All Yard Sales. And we’re offering a hand-made afghan as a bonus prize for the next person who buys a square.  Click that box thing over to the right with the #44 on it for more details on our Hip to Be Square effort.
• Friend Day is October 4. Can we find a place to put 1000 people in that theater?
