EASTER March 17, 2008

Unleash was amazing.  To all of the volunteers that were here for Unleash, I cannot say thank you enough.  You guys really set an example that will Impact lives across the country for many years to come.  I’m so proud of the example you set.  There was this excitement level in this place that is indescribable.  I have already heard so many comments about the volunteers at Unleash.  You guys really blew people away.  Honestly, you really blew me away.  It is an honor to serve along side each of you every week.

I said over and over again at Unleash “I can’t believe we Get to do this”.  Now, looking at Easter this weekend and seeing that we’ve already given out 12,435 tickets for five different services, I find myself saying it again.  I cannot believe we Get to do this.  We got to illustrate God’s passion to 2000 church leaders from across the country.  This weekend we get to illustrate God’s love to probably more than 2000 lost people.  Can we have that same energy level and contagious excitement this weekend that we had at Unleash last week?  We should have more!  When talking through this next series, your illustration is going to be the atrium design.  Your service is going to be the experience that sets the stage for the sermon. 

Here’s the challenge.  Just as we were over-staffed at Unleash in every area of service, we want to be overstaffed for this series, especially this week with five services. 

o       If you serve with us on Sunday already, can you commit to serve for more than one service for this weekend and possibly this series?

o       If you serve on a weekday team and would like to experience a Sunday team for a few weeks will you commit to come in this week and serve with the Greeting team in the parking lot?

o       If you served at Unleash and it was your first time serving, will you commit to come in and serve with the Greeting team this Sunday?

o       If you’re reading this and you’re a member of NewSpring church but not on a team yet, will you commit to first serve with us this Sunday?

We want to have a greeter at every row in the parking lot and possibly up the rows.  Have volunteers mingling in the lobby.  Ushers at every prime spot to guide people to their seat (to be ready to go to the balcony and overflow in the lobby).  Let’s represent like never before as we celebrate Jesus.

Contact your ministry staff coordinator or me at sherry.moorhead@newspring.cc to let us know which of the above commitments looks appealing to you.

Let’s go Rock this place for Jesus!
