Elements Week 1
Yesterday we started our Elements series. We were totally pumped during our prayer time and felt like the Lord was really going to use the morning to bless people. We had a mailing go out earlier in the week and we had quite a few first time visitors.
Our staging team is rocking. Below you can see one of the signs that was made out of metal (I think people call these gobo’s but Grant who was the one who made them said he’s never heard of that).
The Elements for our series are Sand, Fire, Wind, Snow, & Rain. We had a sandbox on stage along with five giant cubes with the logo’s on them. Pictures of the tetris like cubes coming next week.
The message went really well. When it was all over I wanted to get back up there and give it again because I was even more excited about it. That seems to happen a lot. The overall concept was we all have something buried in the sand - taken from Exodus 2:12 and Jesus wants to set us free. Other key scriptures were Genesis 3, Joshua 6 & 7, John 8, and John 13. We rarely do a response time but this week we gave people the option of being prayed for, having their feet washed, or writing their sins in the sand.
The worship team really kicked it. They blended some songs together in a unique way. Some of the songs were “Grace will be my song” “Holy is the Lord” and “It is You”
After the service we had our first Bridge info meeting. We had over 50 people show up. I went through our brief history of how we started and where we feel led to go. Then I said, “anyone have any questions?” After a short pause I got peppered for a half hour on everything from Baptism and speaking in tongues to specific needs and opportunities.
Then a group of people got together and went sledding.
What a morning!
