This past weekend’s thoughts

We had a great weekend at PromiseLand San Marcos.

  • We had wonderful crowd attendance (especially for a Summer wknd with no ‘special’ guest or activity planned).  It is looking like we need to add a morning service and discuss how that will affect ‘The Walk” on Sunday night.  The bottomline on growth is that Sunday morning is full and Sunday night is not a viable option for most people to attend on a regular basis.  On the other hand, Sunday night is a great service and it is slowly growing with people that can’t attend on Sunday morning due to work or other scheduling conflicts.

“Get Your BUT (or Butt) Back to Church Sunday”

Our latest idea of getting folks’ attention and getting them to church is to CUT through the clutter and host a “Get Your But/Butt Back to Church Sunday”

I want your opinion of the two options:

  1. Get your Butt Back to Church Sunday – actually spell out “Butt” and go with the more direct approach – this one is in your face and definitely gets your attention.  But is it too crude?
  2. Get Your BUT Back to Church Sunday – use a play off the conjunction ‘But’ or excuses not to go to church.  This one is a play on words and addresses all the excuses we have for not going to church. Ex: “We know you’ve been busy, We know you’ve had reunions, We know you’ve been on vacation BUT is it time to get back to church this weekend…Get your BUTs back to church this weekend for a ….(then list what is happening that special day)

Ok, now let’s hear your thoughts on the best way to get this special weekend promotion done!

My seat for “sermon prep”

image

I am currently heading to preach in SanAntonio and blogging with my cell phone.  Please excuse the grammatical errors.

I am sitting in the very back of the van because of van is packed with our new foster kids. It is cramped, my back is hurting, the AC is designed to cool back here. It’s hot.

I was worried that my sermon would suffer because my normal routine has been severely trashed.  However, the more I think about it, this could be the best sermon prep.  Sacrificing yourself for others seems like the position you want to be in before preaching.  I will let you know how it goes…
