After I finished with Shaun, I took Jessica, our Children's Ministry Leader to several stores to purchase items for the children's classroom at Mid-Ohio. The room at Mid-Ohio is a very nice, but neutral conference style room and we want to jazz it up for children. So we bought posters, banners, and floor coverings. Then we stopped over to our local Blockbuster and asked for some cardboard boxes. We plan to adhere cardboard backs to the posters so that we can reuse them each week at Mid-Ohio. Jessica has studying to do, but she sacrificed almost 4 hours today so our test run Sunday on October 4th might go as smooth as possible!
In the middle of shopping with Jessica, I received a call from Rich, our marketing team leader, wondering if we had received a jpeg picture file yet from the billboard company. We want to reuse the photo from the billboards in his company's Retrievers, strategically located in several area venues. I called our advertising rep, who promised he would send it over this afternoon. Rich also has a career to think about, but takes time out of his busy day for our new church.
As I sit here and punch out this quick post, I recognize that I am so blessed to have such highly dedicated servants on the Church Requel team. I also realize that no professor in seminary taught me what these days would be like. Thanks everyone for pitching in today!
