YWAM in the house

This Sunday, July 15 was a change of pace in a very good way. A team from Arts With A Mission (division of YWAM) came and performed a program during each of our services. They also hung around afterward and conducting a dance clinic for our aspiring dance artists. Someone told me that Tim Kazmierczak now thinks he's a dancer... he he! Good to have the AWAM team, though. Harmoni and her team did a great job.

Our attendance was 322 at our two services, giving us hope that we're breaking out of the summer blahs that seemed to hit a low on the two weekends surrounding the 4th of July.

Here's a question...should every church expect and accept significantly lower attendances during the summer?

Here's another question...what's the difference between being concerned with numbers (because those numbers represent people who will go to heaven or hell) and letting attendance be our measure of success? How do you walk that line? Is that even a line that should be walked?

Hey Corbett,
I am SO sorry. We were all set to have you up for auditions last weekend and my vocal leader forgot--UUGGH! I didn't found out until after I left for california. If it is OK, I will call you personally next time!
Sorry!

Totally unrelated to this post, but, don't know how to get a hold of you without having to call you and interrupt your day. If you get a chance, can you email me back with the list of songs that we sang this Sunday? I would greatly appreciate it. Just to let you know again, the band ROCKED on Sunday!!!

Thanks,

Melissa Rathbun

No problem, Bill. I'll be in touch. Thanks.

Melissa, until I read your comment, I didn't realize that my profile was no longer visible. I have corrected that and my email is accessible there.

I have not figured out how to put an "email me" link on my main page. If anyone knows how to pull this off with blogger.com, let me know.
