SUNDAY POSTSCRIPT

+ I think I nailed it with the teaching this morning. We're reaching unchurched non-Christians, so it's imporant to be teaching the counter-cultural, Biblical view of marriage and of divorce.

+ Our guys did great. We were missing five key men from our set-up/ breakdown team, but others stepped in and everyone brought their A game, so we didn't miss a beat.

+ Used one of Rob Bell's NOOMA videos - the dude knows what he's doing.

+ The crowd was a bit thinner today, but we still gave away all the newcomers' gift boxes we had.

+ A friend of Gill's from her gym came today for he first time. Gill was thrilled and her guest seemed to enjoy her time with us.

+ Went to the fundraiser for Frank Summers' new project, Prodigal House, for troubled teens. Great crowd - they must have raised a bundle. Couldn't stay long as I had a wedding to do in St.James.

+ Got the first suggestion for a homepage for our new website from the design company. It's simple, totally different and personally I like it. We're awaiting some professional input from our good friend Ian Baer. Did I mention how glad I am God sent us a marketing executive as part of our church?

+ I taught for a long time this morning, but I really wanted to get through the material without skipping any. Our breakdown guys still got us out of there on time.

+ You would not believe how many people were at the theater one hour before service started this morning. I think our folks just like being together.

+ Next Sunday is our ninth anniversary. I guess we're not really a new church any more, but I still feel we are - hope we always will be for that matter.

+ Ken Swaner was away white water rafting this weekend. He's insane.

+ Our small groups all get under way this week. There are some great choices. Think I'll be going to Ken's.

+ I'm tired. Full day. Good day.

+ I can't believe it's nine years.

+ I had black hair when we started this.

+ I had hair!
