Are we getting the hang of it?


Another week of ministry in our new building has come and gone, and it was another great week.
I had to be gone for the first service, because I was flying in from Oregon, but I was there for second service.
Everything went really well; the lights folks had to improvise, and they did great; the video tech did a nice job of keeping up with a different worship leader; the sound tech has nearly mastered that new high-tech machine; the band did an amazing job without me, too good of a job really.
I want to thank of all the above mentioned folks for their hard work. Doing ministry, as a lay person or as clergy/staff, can be a very draining task, but I pray it was also a fulfilling experience.

So here are some of the things we're learning:
-We cannot over-train in any of our tech jobs. All four+ jobs need ongoing training simply because we keep running into stuff that we had not encountered before.
-Communication is really important, in ways we don't even know about yet. Maybe we should have a short meeting before church every week to go over little details.
-Set up and tear down is a good little chunk of work. Those teams are nothing short of heroes.
-We need more volunteers all around the church. Let's do this, if you're reading this, you are agreeing to our site agreement that to read is to volunteer?

There is no such agreement, but if you want to volunteer, there is a place for you at KP.

Oh, the set list for this week was:
Sweetly Broken
Not to Us
What a Savior (a Jill Phillips arrangement)
Beautiful the Blood
We Fall Down (the Kutless version)

Great job Sam, Ethan, Doug, Kasie, and Aleks!

See you next week.

  1. Last week was truly fun to be part of - well much deeper than fun, far better- holy hauntingly rocking! We were sad to have missed today too. I bet it was awesome. What a privilege to serve together.
