A Word from the weekend | PD's afterthoughts...

Hey Guys,
 
What an Amazing weekend we just had!!!!!
 
I just want to brag on a few things and people because I really needed that and it truly feels like we turned a corner and we are beginning to kick it up a notch. LOVE THAT! You can email me with more shout outs as you have them as well.
 
1 - Worship guys, way to go!!!! The worship was amazing and really set the stage for the next part. That felt professional! I love the CD whether anyone else does or not. I have already heard that people are LOVING HAVING your music! It is just the first phase. I already have someone that will remaster our disk if we will lay down the tracks officially. So, now that you have a disk, let's learn the music and get it done RIGHT. The best songs we have are by far Jon's. We also have an opportunity to send EVERYTHING to iHOP and they will play it during the night watch prayer meetings which will introduce it to the larger church and that movement. Jesus Culture, here we come!
 
2 - Way to go Lori with the kids ministry firing on all cylinders. That was awesome to see. The easels were AMAZING! So many people LOVED your graphics work. I guess now you are the official Tapestry lettering artist! And thank you so much for really leading the welcome bag rollout and getting the copies and everything done. WE WOULD HAVE NEVER PULLED IT OFF WITHOUT YOU!
 
3 - ASHLEY!!!! The banned was totally beautiful and was MORE THAN I COULD HAVE EXPECTED! I am so proud of that work of art. I am thankful to have something so AWESOME to hang at the church and the handiwork that Christa put into it is going to be a lasting contribution to the legacy of the Tapestry! WOW! I cannot believe that Ashley, you put over a year in this effort. WAY TO GO! WHAT A GREAT LEAD!
 
4 - The welcoming was great on Sunday. You guys got chairs out, made people at home, welcomed, hugged, hand shaked, and connected people EVERYWHERE! That was the most connected I have seen the Tapestry EVER! WOW!
 
5 - Tapestry old-timers, thank you for being around for me to brag on and talk about. You guys endure a lot. Next year I would love to have a few of you share your personal stories about coming to the Tapestry as a part of the service. That would be really fun.
 
6 - Setup crew! WAY TO GO! You guys worked hard, got there early, set everything up and out, made it look great and tore down and got us out the picnic. WOW!
 
7 - COOKOUT folks! AWESOME! DID YOU SEE THAT CROWD?????? And how many people were helping cook this year? So many!!! PATRICK, you had some help!!!! YAY! The location was perfect, Su. And the way everyone signed up, brought food, fellowshiped and connected did my heart GOOD! SO COOL!
 
8 - Jose, GREAT choice in speaker. Didn't David do such a great job guys? That was not only the word for the day and the word for the graduates, but the word for the church and will be our newest T-shirt! AWESOME!
 
9 - Graduates, you guys made the day! All I have to say...
 
And with that said, I am going to leave you to ponder your own awesomeness and the awesomeness of the GOD that has brought you together over these 7 years.
 
Way to go Tapestry... Way to go!
