Morning After…
The morning after Sunday always seems to be Monday… wouldn’t it be cool to switch it up on occasion?!
Yesterday was a packed day from beginning to end… not always the way it is on Sunday’s but it as yesterday.
Wow I have to give a big shout out to Nick. The wheels were falling off fast yesterday morning. Our drummer called in at 8:30 to say he couldn’t come due to a sickness in the family… our other keyboard player didn’t show up till 8:50… the band was covering It’s My Life so all of the sudden big rock tune turns into a stripped down acoustic tune… the 9:19 gathering starts by me praying… as I am walking down from the stage Nick realizes that something has happened to his keyboard (which was just working fine 5 minutes ago) and it’s not working… so the band is now made up of an acoustic guitar, bass, keys… BUT Nick and Genine and the three piece band adjusted on the fly and it ended up being fantastic! It’s My Life was awesome, worship was great!
Love that Nick is so talented and so flexible to go with the flow…
(a year and half of being portable makes you that way) and not melt down and still lead us in worship with no one knowing any better!
Our Family Man Earl was sporting some cool looking glasses… I love what he (and Sean) and the Renovation Team is doing every week… creating an environment that is a WOW for every boy and girl that walks through those doors… We have great volunteer leaders that really take serious the mission of helping kids take their next step in the relationship with God and with others.
Joshua had some great meetings this week at West Hertel… Joshua is our community liaison and is partnering with so many churches/organizations that it is pretty exciting to see how it all is going to have a positive impact on NW Buffalo. Also love how Joshua is beginning to reshape and order our student ministries at Renovation. Joshua will be providing leadership over grades 7th-12 and our first event together will be next week where we will go to the Bisons and then also THE WALK with Stuart Hall.
Hey need a big shout out to Michelle Giambra and the First Impressions Team… yesterday was slamming! Great job as always. This team is so important for us to carry out our strategy every week. If you love how you are treated when you come to Renovation then I would encourage you to help make it possible for others to experience the same thing and join the First Impressions Team… MG does a great job of leading it!
If you have questions or are needing some specific help or direction please contact Michelle Stockton at the office during the week (M-Th) she is the glue that keeps us all together…!
we have another Michelle (W) that is managing our summer community events that you will hear more about in the weeks to come!
We have a great staff at Renovation… without this team that God has assembled we would not be able to do or accomplish all that is happening… so thank them and get to know them and best of all pray for them… each one loves God and is following hard after Him and they love people! I thank God for each one of them and their families!
We are blessed Renovation!
