Sunday Night “Sum Up!”

Each Sunday night I will be summing up the previous week’s events in a “numbered” list, along with the “sum total” of our attendance for the week…even though “I’m not very good with numbers.”

  1. Had an extremely busy week of lots of meetings with architects and the like for our new building plans.
  2. Absolutely love the people that I work with–both in Carthage and Joplin!
  3. Drove to Springfield to meet with a group of pastors and church planters. Those guys help me so much!? I probably wouldn’t be in ministry still if it weren’t for this group of guys supporting me and helping me through a really difficult time.? Thanks guys!
  4. One of my heroes, Daryl Eldridge, came to Forest Park Carthage last Sunday to visit and give us some insight on how we can improve our church.
  5. Drove back to Springfield with Kevin and JB to meet with our audio-visual, lighting, and techno whizbang companies to design A/V and lighting for our new building.
  6. Most importantly, we had Qdoba for lunch…mmm…Chicken Fajita Three Cheese Nachos!
  7. Oh, and we also had a Strawberry Concrete from Andy’s Frozen Custard!
  8. The house on the new property was demolished!? Check out the video in an earlier post!
  9. Our Student Ministry had our DNOW this weekend, called ELEVATE!!
  10. Two students from Carthage found Christ this weekend!! They will be baptized soon!
  11. My friends, The Radiance Effect, were the band for the weekend.? Cool to catch back up with them…they were at a DNOW I spoke at last spring…and I went to church with the drummer growing up (he was just a little boy when we went to church together–his dad was one of my Sunday School teachers in college.)
  12. We had a great attendance today…292!!! Had a boost in attendance with guests from ELEVATE.
  13. We had 4 new students come to Collide tonight!!? We are going to need to get another vehicle to transport our students….GREAT problem to have!!
  14. Worked on our taxes…worked on some remodeling stuff…had a great time hanging out with Taylor boy on Saturday night and Sunday night at ELEVATE.
  15. Watched the end of the Oscars…I’m exhausted.? Big week coming up!
