Catalyst Church -- Preview Service II

So today was our second preview service for Catalyst Church. What an incredible ride today was. I arrived 7:35 am -- about a half our late. As I pulled up to Nottingham HS I see the whole crowd out in front. No staff person arrived to even open the doors until 7:40 am. And when we got inside the place was a sty. No one had cleaned up from the dance recital the night before. Dirty floors. Filthy bathrooms. Bobbie pins and safety pins everywhere -- especially in our children's area! Piles of empty boxes and trash. Our fantastic, fabulous team had it clean and set-up by 9:30 am. Incredible. Special kudos to Elisha Awad and Kelly Esposito for their bathroom cleaning. More kudos to Matt for stealing communion cups. Even more kudos to Melanie Emery for running Media Shout for the first time ever today. And even more kudos to Sarah Benedict who cleaned, vacuumed, set-up tables and chairs, prepared the communion elements, served communion, brought people and probably did several other things that nobody knew about. And we had nearly 100 people again today and not all the same people as last time. A lot of positive vibe. God is good.
