SUNDAY REVIEW

+ We did it! Pulled it off in a brand new location that everyone seemed to love - apart from the challenge everyone faced of arriving for service and not having a regular seat.

+ When I say we did it, I mean we. I didn't count, but there must have been thirty people there to do set-up. Our folks are the best!

+ Weird to be in a theater where your feet don't stick to the floor and there's no overwhelming smell of popcorn.

+ The kids area was outstanding.

+ It was weird that there was a massive exodus from the Big Screen Cafe as soon as the band started playing. Into the live worship service, that is, not out the front door. That never happened in Patchogue.

+ The bikes looked sharp outside the main entrance.

+ The bike I had beside me at the front of the service was remarkable.

+ Enjoyed teaching, though I was very conscious of the time as we were trying to finish early today because breakdown would take longer on day one.

+ It did take longer - 75 minutes before we were all packed away in the truck. That will get better as the weeks go by.

+ Had a number of visitors today, which gave us a good turnout for an August Sunday, especially with thirty teens away at the Purple Door festival in PA.

+ When September 9th comes around the theater will be packed. We need to be ready to move with the next phase pretty soon - that will probably be a live video feed into another theater.

+ I think God knows what he's doing - this is going to be a great next phase for us on this journey.
