Go...#2
I wrote last November: Dreams are gifts from God. Vision is the picture God gives of dreams coming true. Yesterday at Downtown West Theatre here in Knoxville we believe this picture came just a little more true as we experienced another chapter of God’s dream for this city coming to fruition.
As I mentioned in my previous post today, yesterday’s launch of Crossings was an incredibly exciting day.
Our Kids’ City leaders were amazing…12 leaders in all led by my wife, Monica, they were so prepared and so ready to care for the kids God brought to them.
I’m sure a highlight for all of them was Jake the Pirate… 
Our aesthetics team went far and above creating an environment that feels comfortable, inviting and safe to come and find God. They literally are transforming different areas of the theatre each and every week…Among all the other incredible things the hospitality leaders do each week, this week I added an extra task…
they served about 270 slices of cheesecake to everyone immediately after worship. (It was part of an illustration from the teaching during the worship gathering)Our setup and sound and tech leaders kicked butt…they were quicker and set up and more efficient than any week so far…
Matt Bullard is a genius.Bill Wolf and the band were unbelievable. They sounded great and their hearts seemed so focused on simply leading people to worship God…Everything was great, especially their version of Pierce Pettis’ “God believes in You”.
All in all we had somewhere around 210-215 people at Downtown West Theatre yesterday…God is so good.
I’ll continue to write more about yesterday throughout the week…

said... Hi Mark -
I'm not sure if this means you did the justice/mercy/grace skit down there, but either way, cheesecake has been inextricably tied to grace for my last 4 years . . . good for spiritual life, bad for cholesterol.
I miss you guys!
