Sunday FlashBlitz - Happy Father's Day

Happy Father' Day! This morning was awesome at NHC. Here's why:

• I got to wake extra early and get picked up by Chris Jolly at 6:40am! Ok, so this wasn't awesome. We had a fun ride though, and we stopped by Nathan's house to pick him up too.

• Today was my first Sunday playing in the band! Until now, I had helped with Kid's church for every Sunday that I had been at NHC. Nathan knew that I had many opportunities to lead worship at Liberty, so he wanted me to be able to get experience from areas that I am normally not involved with. This week, however, he needed me to fill in on bass, and I was more than happy to do so.

• Rick gave a great message today that was aimed toward fathers. This is an area that I obviously do not have any experience in, but I am always up for learning as much as I can about it so that I will be more prepared when that time comes. Fortunately for me, I have a pretty great dad, so I have a good head start.

• Today was the first Sunday for our new checkin system! I have been working out the kinks for a while now, so it was great to finally see it in action. It worked better than I had hoped for. There was only one minor problem that I know of, and it has already been fixed. I'm ready for next week to see how round 2 goes.

Here are a few of my pictures from the morning.
