In sticking with what seems to have become my tradition, here is my wrap-up from yesterday…

As is normal, we got to the school at 8:00AM and began the setup. This was the first time that we had to completely setup before the service (last month we were able to leave our equipment setup overnight at the school after practicing setup). Not only was this our first time to do a complete setup before the service, but we had more stuff to setup than ever before as we keep adding stuff to our setup (only few items left to add though). Anyway, it took us about 1 hour and 10 minutes to setup. Although this is the fastest we’ve ever done it (1.5 hours was our previous mark), we still are not quite to where we need to be at 45 minutes.

With setup taking a bit longer than expected, we ran late the rest of the morning. Band rehearsal ran about 35 minutes so by the time we actually finished rehearsing it would have already been time for us to start playing for the service, so things were pushed a bit more. Other than being about 10 - 15 minutes behind schedule, the service went pretty smoothly.

The most exciting part for all of us was that we had three new families visit yesterday!

Here’s the setlist…

• Love the Lord (Lincoln Brewster)
• Hosanna (Paul Baloche & Brenton Brown)
• One Way (Joel Houston & Jonathon Douglass)
• Everlasting God (Brenton Brown & Ken Riley)
• Fire Fall Down (Matt Crocker)
• Nothing But The Blood (Robert Lowry)
• Holy is the Lord (Chris Tomlin & Louie Giglio)

Well, my last post was just before four of us left for California to pick up our Church on Wheels equipment. Boy that was a long trip! 48 hours, 4 grown men, Extended cab pickup (not one of those nice full cab things, a bit smaller), ~1500 miles, and not much sleep. Needless to say, we will not be doing that again any time soon. The trip was good, but the ride was too cramped for that long of a trip.

No one was able to figure out a way to sit in the back seat without their knees having to be in their chest. There was really no way to get very comfortable, so sleeping in the back seat was pretty much out of the question. Anyway, we made it down there and back and got our trailer, which we have decided to call ‘Tiny’ (there is really nothing tiny about the trailer though), and all of our equipment.

Today we spent all day sorting through the equipment and setting things up.

Tomorrow we have our second preview service, which is very exciting! We sent out 10000 mailers to the surrounding community, so we are praying that God will provide the people.

Its been a very busy 4 days. I hope to post more about our trip, our equipment, and our preview service soon as I reflect on them more. It might not be tomorrow because I plan on just resting in the afternoon after the marathon 4 days I’ve had!
