Sunday's Coming

Every Monday morning our church staff join together for staff meeting. We discuss anything and everything related to the working of our church. Much can be accomplished in such a small amount of time. Few things happen at Calvary outside of the discussion in that meeting. Even still... you can talk something into the ground and never accomplish anything. With that in mind, our pastor regularly reels us back in with this statement, "Sunday's Coming." In those two words, he reminds us that if Sunday morning is the "first touch" for 95% of guests that come through our doors, if Sunday morning is when more people are on campus than any other time of the week, if Sunday morning is when the main focus of a church (worship, discipleship and fellowship) occurs, if Sunday morning is the ideal time for life change to be seen, if Sunday morning is the first thing we would point any and every person to as an entry point into our church, and if Sunday morning can only happen with an exponential amount of volunteers from within our church family... then we need to spend a large portion of our energy in making it the best it can be.

That being said, below is a video produced by North Point Community Church in Alpharetta, Georgia. Call it a behind the scenes look into what is really happening in a worship service. (though not completely accurate) Some of it is all too true, some of it is a stretch... but it's all hilarious. I hope you enjoy...
