CALL ME A BULLDOG WITH LIPSTICK!

Greetings Team!

I am very excited about what God is doing in our midst and for us. Justin, myself and some others are going to spend the next week or so cleaning up, re-gridding and organizing the stage and audio equipment.

If you are an organizational genius, please get a hold of me because we can use you! We are developing systems for putting things back after using, keeping track of microphones, which ones go to the speaker and which ones DON'T, finding out what we have and organizing it...the list goes on.

I will be bringing everyone on the same page as to what "being ready for practice" as well as "having the stage set for practice" means. When everyone is on the same page, things go smoothly AND practice begins on time.

I will also be posting the evaluation points. We can use these for practice as well as services. Love it!!! Cannot know where you have improved lest you know where you have been AND not forgotten.

I am very excited about Ryan who has joined our sound team. He has not had a good chance to "feel out" our stage and where everything plugs in. This is going to help him a lot. He has the ability to raise our audio to another level. Let him know you appreciate him.

Team, thank you for your patience.

I am a bulldog with lipstick on, right now! I will be fasting Breakfast and Lunch on Tuesday. If you want to join me, do it. Let's grab on to ALL God has for us!

BGV'S AT PRACTICE TONIGHT

BGV's had a great meeting tonight at practice. Thank you for your feedback and discussion.

We decided that in effort to continue our freedom on stage, at the very least, we will switch up places with each chorus. At other times, express the freedom by singing to one another while leading the people. Have fun! Move and be as relaxed as we are in practice, on Sunday.

We discussed Jr. High worship and how grateful the team is for those of you who are leading on Sunday morning. The Jr. Highers are learning and expressing worship because you are getting out there and leading them. We also discussed processing worship with myself, not other people, spouses, tvmers or their leaders. When in leadership, it is important that we have words of faith being spoken not just how it went. Other's will not have the burden nor the anointing we have to lead. You are also my liaison and I need to hear how it went and be able to give wisdom to you as well as others who will lead. Let the processing and wisdom be gotten through proper channels so as to continue to build the Jr. High and leaders up.

I am now aware there have been no words for Jr. High. Thank you for letting me know. As you know, I would never want there to be worship with no words. I have been told it is fixed. Please let me know if there is anything else missing or needed as I can speed up the solution.

The Grid will be open at 10:30 am for sound check and a run-through. If it is not, please let me know.

Can you hear the common thread? Appreciation and Communication! (-:

Bless you all! I love and appreciate you. The team and leaders appreciate you!

AUDIO TEAM!

Hello Audio Team!

Thank you so much for your dedication to excellence and the vision God is brining to pass through all of us at The Rock Church!

Ryan will be running the board for the next while so those who are scheduled will run TVM audio as well as change batteries, sit on the left chair at the left side of the center section of the worship center (wow, that's a long sentence!)
