SUPERCOOL PERSON OF THE WEEK
To get the good of what I want to say this morning, you really need to have read yesterday's blog entry first. So if you are willing to admit in public that you failed to read through Thursday's ramblings, why not take a moment right now? - and be certain, God will forgive you for your oversight!
Okay, so you got the point about useless people who are not willing to plug in and get their hands dirty? They just want what they consider to be a top spot and anything less just isn't going to happen.
Today I want to salute a small group of guys who are the opposite of that nauseating nonsense. They pitch in, they get their hands dirty, they do essential stuff that very few people see happening and they do it week after week without complaining because they are glad to contribute to what we're all about.
My Supercool Persons Of The Week are our set-up guys. These are the men who are at the movie theater every Sunday morning at 7.00am - and that means arriving in the dark in winter - and pull everything from storage, placing it where it needs to be for the various activities around the building throughout the morning.
They drag, carry, lift an amazing amount of stuff. Sound systems, lights, coffee machines, tables, chairs, nursery equipment, banners, signs, plants, stage props. It's 90 minutes of hard work.
Few are around to see it all happen, but if these guys didn't step up to the plate there would be no programs at all.
They're not looking for the limelight or working for applause. They're all capable, smart people who have responsible jobs and good brains. But on a Sunday morning they're willing to take off their coats, roll up their sleeves and do what needs to be done.
They're the backbone of Grace Church and Supercool People.
