Wednesday Already!!

Wow! I can't believe it's Wednesday already. After the busy weekend, I had sorta hoped for a slowdown this week, but... maybe tomorrow?!?

The church corporation meeting went smoothly Monday night. Brad did a good job as the MC, and there were some good ideas expressed during the "let's-talk-about-whatever-you-want-to-bring-up" section. People here at Eastside have such good hearts, and it often shows in surprising ways.

Speaking of which, after our Budget Sunday service on the 26th, I was talking with a couple of ladies about something else the next Sunday night. Somebody asked a question about the budget, and during the discussion it was revealed that one of the ladies gave up smoking after 40 years so she would have more to give; the other (on a fixed income) decided to increase her contribution as well, and the next day she received unexpected check that would cover 15 weeks of her increase. Cool stories!

The youth minister search is narrowing... more on that as we go along.

Tonight is our 3rd Wednesday night Oasis, and we have the most signed up to come that we've had so far! Speaking of which, I better go make sure things are set up... "If you're happy and you know it..."

"...stomp your feet!" That was my favorite part of the song as a kid, and still as an adult.

Cool stories, glad things are going well!

You know, I should have asked you what a "corporation meeting" was. That's an unfamiliar term for us. It sounds like we should have been there. Was anyone taking notes for people who weren't there?
