Weekly Rundown (2.08.2009)

• The flu bug hit us hard today, myself included.  Our entire band in Stage 123 was sick.  But we played hurt and had a good day.  Ended the service completely different than ever before which was kind of cool and I think really drove home the point we were trying to make as we kicked off "Frequency."


• Our worship & tech teams are really taking things to a whole new level!!


• We've made a few changes and "upgrades" to our Inquirer's Class (now called "Connect") that we'll try out this week.  I think the changes will really help us better connect people into "body" life at Rock Bridge.


• Construction on the back of the Wink and our new ministry center is well underway and can't get finished too soon ... we need the space!


• National Signing Day came and went.  The Dawgs finished with a top 10 class but so did LSU, Florida, and Alabama.


• I rarely listen to preachers on TV but last night I listened to Charles Stanley.  He is man with a true passion for God's Word and for preaching about Jesus.  I admire his consistency, endurance, and authenticity.


• My dog (Sammie) is asleep at my feet ... snoring loud!! 


• Got some great comments today on well our Host Teams do making people feel welcome.  I can't praise or thank these teams of people enough.  They brave the wind, the rain, the cold, the heat ... all to communicate a big value of ours -- Christ-like acceptance.
