Sunday Night Brain Dump

As we establish the new culture at Five Stones Church I thought that it would be good for me to process what I see take place each and every Sunday. Since this is me down-loading there will be no order at all to my thought process, which should be no surprise to those of you that know me.

• Completely overwhelmed with the amount of those volunteering each and every morning. 175 people were in our volunteer service this morning…..are you kidding me?
• Did Ralph really introduce the word Stoneology? Is that even a word?
• Struggled with my emotions today. So excited about our soft launch and yet so grieved over the hurt our brothers and sisters are feeling at Grace Community Church next door.
• Feel so blessed to be able to do this with some of my best friends.
• Thought we could of used a little more cow bell out of Rick this morning!
• Did we take an offering? I heard that can be pretty important for a new church to do.
• Overwhelmed with how the Summit Leaders are trying to help me with my double duties.
• Praying for two Leaders to do the Master teaching in the Summit on Sunday morning. Just know that God is going to provide.
• Shout out to our High School Students at Summit…hang in there we have big plans for you guys.
• Thought I was in a sauna for the first hour of setup. The good news is that I think my skin looked refreshed after the fact.
• Blown away that God provided us $1,700.00 to give to the family of the hurt teenager at Grace Community. Amazing how Big our God is.
• Looking for a few volunteers each week to go to the first service and then help me process the message in our Green Room before the next service.
• Have already heard from several people that have taken some difficult first steps today following the message.
• The Big Idea today: Following Christ is about steps, not leaps.
• Honored to be apart of Carmel Baptist. So thankful for their vision.
• Caught a family cleaning the gym floors on their hands and knees just before our lunch. I Love catching leaders serving.
• After watching our leaders serve today it reminded me that the world see us on the first mile but they see Christ on the second mile.
• Heard we had like 60 children in the Discover Factory.
• Just found out that two children responded to God’s call of salvation tonight at their house. Time to celebrate!
• Got to take my daughter shopping after the services for some quality time together.
• Starting a new quiet time process tom. morning. Going to be going through the daily readings on http://www.youversion.com/ my name on that site is Kingme. I think you can read my posts from my QT.
• Getting ready to go prepare to teach four times this week at Windy Gap. Time for some rest.
• Much love from the King Family!
