Church in a Box

The stuff arrived today and between 30 and 40 people got in some practice in setting up at Labay. Here is one of the three trailers with the logo on the side.

Ydalith is happy! Dailene was happy too. I just think she doesn't like my photography very much....


Listening to the Portable Church Industries consultants......

The musicians showed up and demanded a backstage buffet.




You can see the back of the trailer folded down to become a ramp for the cases to roll on.




There goes Jim with something valuable.





And Peyton....







One more!







Going into the hallway at Labay we received a word from the Lord....







All the cases, lined up and ready to be opened!









Chris and Mike, looking confused.













The Swearingen boys were there.







What you learn from this pic is that I'm a really terrible photographer. But if you look closely you can see the empty cafetorium before we started setting up. It has a nice deep stage.










Putting up signs in the hallway.












One of the signs.....



Putting together the screens for the stage.



Happy, happy sound guy. Chris says the stuff we have is going to sound great.



More bad photography. You see one of the two screens which will frame the stage.




One of the Sunday School rooms.

Another Sunday School room. The girls did a great job of setting up.
Actually everyone did! I can't wait for tomorrow!

Sunday was AWESOME!!! I had a few reservations about the safety of the small kids, especially since I have a very, very active 2-year-old. The "Church in a Box" was wonderful. I didn't have to worry about him at all. From my viewpoint, everything went quiet smoothly. What a great way to start off LifePath!

Thanks for the encouraging words, Kelly. It was truly a great morning.

There are a few things I want to improve on but our children's security system is already great. The Director of Children's Ministry says that our current system is safer than when we had our own property.

And heya, smiley Alex.

Backstage buffet!?... we didn't demand any backstage buffet... all we wanted was a gallon size bowl of peanut M&Ms (green & red only!), a six-pack each of Perrier sparkling water (chilled), and a small brunch (consisting of breakfast burritos & chicken salad sandwiches) served an hour and 15 minutes before the service starts... but there was never any mention of a buffet!

Can we get Allie and Ramona to sort the M&M's?

A half day of training and set up for live services the following morning? It sure looks good in the "movies". Hmmmppp!! Sure... those "actors" make it all look so easy.

What a Doubting Thomas I was. I really should have more faith in the spectacular things the Lord can accomplish in us. It was GREAT!

Now I'll eat my humble pie.
