Yesterday was a great day for Discover Church. A lot of prayer, hard work, sacrifice, and most importantly the tangible presence of a faithful God made The Gathering a success! The following are some of my randomly organized "take aways" from yesterday.
- Beginning the day in prayer and worship with Launch Team was quite possibly the most important thing we did in preparation for the night.
- For future church starters, do as much organization weeks out as possible.
- We will have a list of all the things we purchased, price, and where we found it
- Last night was a beautiful picture of what the Church could be. We had volunteers from LifeChurch.tv, FBC West Palm, and FBC Lake Worth go over and above, THANK YOU!
- Discover Kidz area (birth-Pre K and K-5th grade) looked warm, comfortable, and safe. Stephanie and her team did an amazing job!
- Benj led a high energy, powerful, excellent time of worship.
- Thank you Russell, Anthony, and Dustin for giving your time and talent.
- Sound was a huge challenge as it was our 1st time setting up but not too much of one for Danny Dagher.
- The entire process of loading trailer, unloading trailer, setting up staging/Discover Kidz, sound check, etc was for the most part without major surprises because of excellent team members (led by Jon Killian, you are the man) effort.
- Brittni was great in her announcements and intro of message (plus she looked really good)!
- Exciting number of FAU Honors campus students. Way to go Jordan and Amanda!
- We tripped a couple breakers and had to reallocate our power output but Aaron Leahy from A-Train Productions rolled with the punches
- Our screen was too big for the space (we measured incorrectly)
- Hilton Garden Inn provided an excellent atmosphere and professional attendants for the event
- We unloaded at 2pm for a 6:30 service start to allow for plenty of time
- The "Clean Slate" (rv.worshiphousemedia.com) video provided an excellent intro to the message
- Message was from Luke 19:1-10
- "Jesus has time for those pursuing Him"
- "Things are never a sufficient substitute for Jesus"
- "Genuine transformation is seen in legitimate change"
- "Jesus came to find those who don't know Him"

I know you don't need my approval, but I am proud of you and blessed to see what God is doing through you. I hope to catch up with you if you get back to NC for a visit. Love ya man - John
Thank you John, for both your encouragement and the years (over a decade) of investment made by you and your family! Really looking forward to Thanksgiving, so much that I will even buy the coffee.
