How To look Good Naked, pt. 1

This week I feel like Connections has made another step forward. In the fall we were figuring things out. In January we focused on just getting services put together each week. This week we really started to PREPARE for our upcoming series.

Now I want you to know this is no small feat.
For one, I have the administrative skills of a mollusk. Getting things done with a staff is easy. Show up Monday morning, go over the plans, dream a little, get things done.

But Connections is 100% volunteer driven.

• Music- volunteers
• Media- volunteers
• Everything-volunteers

So on my part, the planning and putting together of a service the way we like to see it done is both frustrating and exhilarating.
Frustrating because we can just get the team together. It seems like endless calls, emails, and mini-meetings.
But it's so exhilarating because each week people passionately do what needs to be done. It is awesome to be a part of seeing it unfold.

This week I've watched things unfold- creativity in planning this series that one person just can't achieve- song ideas, video clips, dramas, improvements for our lighting and staging.

I'm so pumped about what God s going to do through this series. It's going to be beautiful...
