Revolution Church - Week 2

RevolutionLogo

Well, I think the adult Life Group went much better this week while the Revolution Kids came close to being disastrous.  To begin with, when I was trying to download my script, my disc had a "file corrupted" error and for HOURS, I tried to get my materials printed.  At the very last minute of the final attempt, I finally got everything printed - not before running out of ink and putting in a panic call to Chris asking him to download a file and make some copies for me.  Then, once the students had arrived, we went to our studio where I found the projector in a non-functional mode.  Being married to the most avid handyman around, I didn't panic, just simply summoned my Mr. Fix-it who... COULDN'T GET IT WORKING.  Never fear, I decided to move on to plan B.  (Did I mention that I had 15 children all sitting in their seats, bored and staring at me like they would rather be in a dentist chair?)  Anyway, Plan B - we would forget the projector and simply GO LIVE via TV/Surround Sound.  Well, we transfer the disc, move  the TV, only to figure out that you MUST have the remote to use the TV's video feed and of course, it is MIA.  Now, the students are really looking at me with their best "this is lame face" and I am about to throw in the towel when I decide to try one last time to get our party started!  Charles goes back in the house, straight through the area where the adults are in an intense Bible study and brings out the TV/DVD from one of  the back bedrooms, grabs the remote, and WHEW, we are up and running.  Not on the 5 foot screen with surround sound, but up and running none the less. 

Well, once we FINALLY began our program, I believe it was a success.  A few of the students said it was fun and Jarrett told me, "you did great mom".  Who knows?  But, I learned that I MUST test my equipment EACH week, prior to 7pm, and I CAN NOT wait until Wednesday to print my material.  It's a live and learn kind of thing and I definitely learned my lesson this week. 

If you are interested in learning more about our church , feel free to join us ANY Wednesday night at my house for food and fellowship beginning at 6pm and Bible Study beginning at 6:45p.

I had to work (and it was horrible!) that's why I wasn' there. And let me tell you, Alanna cried and whined for 2 days before and the day after because she didn't go to "kid's bible study". So, we will be there Wednesday!
