Here we go... that's Rob's t-shirt- the shirt that stopped a bullet that was headed to his heart at the shooting on Monday morning. Other than that, here are a few highlights, updates, and random thoughts from the Thursday Night gathering at The Dream Center (5:30 p.m. food / 6:45 p.m. worship & Word):
- Rob Malcom, who was shot multiple times this week, was with us. We've posted more about that on this blog throughout the week. You can catch up there.
- You can catch the audio of Rob's testimony during the middle of the teaching time from this week. The audio from the teaching is here. Rob talks from 12:00 - 18:15 in the talk.
- Kids' church (called Dream Nights), began this evening. Randall & Kay Moore are children's ministry vets who have stepped up and completely taken the bull by the horns on this. I thank God for them and for what they are doing!
- This opens up more seats in the main area. Invite some more people. We now have more space.
- By the way, your kids are still welcome in the service. Do what you feel led to do with them.
- We're still working out some kinks on 101, 201, 301, 401... no worries. We'll get it in a good flow soon. I'm grateful for the team we have leading this.
- Tonight was the second Thursday of the month- and bike night. It's great to see the motorcycle crew out- though I think (between me and you) it's too hot to ride at this point in the year.
- Thank you to all of you who serve every week- and to those of who you simply show up, start working... and we don't even know who you are! It will be great to get to know each other as we serve our city together, loving the people and expressing the life of Christ.
- Later in the week, I'll post ways you can serve on Thursday nights on this blog. I have a pdf file that needs a few more tweaks.
- One of the young woman who helps with the food on Thursdays, Geri Martha, made the bread for the burger that just won Birmingham's best! Congrats to her.
