Growth Night underway and other stuff..

Wow! Thanks to everyone for making our first Growth Night a solid success. Our band and media teams worked really hard to craft a passionate service, and our many adult volunteers made by life really easy by lending great leadership to our many small groups and class offerings. Several people have asked me where we get many of our funny video clip from, and the answer is that many come from www.bluefishtv.com. You can browse their many great clips for free. In all we had about 110 people in attendance for week #1 (even in the shadow of a Pack game), including some new to HRC. I continue to pray that God will use Growth Nights as a great opportunity for worship and digging into scripture throughout the next few months.
Another question several people have had is who wrote all that music? Here's the set list with the band who most famously recorded it.
Not to Us: Chris Tomlin
Undignified: David Crowder Band (written by Matt Redman)
Grace Like Rain: Todd Agnew
Every Move I Make: Fusebox
God of This City: Chris Tomlin (written by BlueTree)
No One Like You: David Crowder Band

On some other notes of update, my prep work paid off last week as I successfuly devoured 3 1/2 racks of Jerry's Ribs (see previous post for more). How yummy, yet how horrible my stomach felt by the time I got home. I also enjoyed my Cubbies cruising to the Central title this weekend. Too bad the Brewers couldn't have been a little bit of competition this season.
