kick off service

This past Wednesday was our first kinetic service in the new building.  It was amazing.  Up to this point things had been pretty stressful.  This being our first building we have ever built and made major decisions on.  I am told that this is the way it is.  Things go wrong and not as planned.  But Wednesday night things went better than imagined.  God is great.  The doors opened, youth came in excited and everything worked!  We have a great easy new registration program and system that proved much better than our other one.  The full service commercial kitchen was working like a well oiled machine with our leaders at the helm.  The game room was packed with students playing x box games off the projection wall, pool table was busy, and there was volley on the ping pong.  The old school arcade games were on and ringing.  Then the countdown began.  Students entered the new sanctuary.  The lights, sound, media were fabulous.  It was breathtaking.  We were here in this moment, although it was still quite surreal.  The band Jethro’s Advice was phenomenal.  A great start to the year and a great way to break in the building.  I’m looking forward to this Wednesday’s first Collision service!
