Wherefore Art Thou, Excellence?

Excellence is a core value at StoneBridge, but I can tell you it went on vacation yesterday. Problems were abundant...a mic was left unplugged to the snake, inputs were switched, our wireless went down at the halfway point of Jason's message due to a dead battery, dead space during the service, and Flo never arrived. Add to that an entire group of worshippers who seemed tired, and it made for a difficult day at the Warner. Jason's message on "No Fear" (Psalm 23:4) was the highlight of the morning. On the bright side, having a day like this forces us to go back to the drawing board to raise the bar on Sundays. God deserves our best, and if Gary Lamb's crew in Georgia can set up church starting at 5:30 am every week, we can certainty give a consistent, top-notch effort at the Warner week in and week out.


Reaching the lost and unchurched people of Morgantown will require us to continue to strive for excellence and give God our best. I'm looking forward to next Sunday already...

Russ,

It must have been something in the air! While our services flowed fine yesterday I saw SEVERAL people either sleeping or fighting sleep during the preaching. This very rarely happens under my loud mouth, but yesterday sure was the exception!

Weird.
