Follow Up on Volunteer Sunday

We did a great job Butler Campus!

192 new volunteers committed to serve this week!!!!

As I walked around on Sunday seeing dozens of people in groups being toured around our campus I was blown away. I was so pleased to be serving at a church where almost 200 people come to tour the volunteer opportunities on a single Sunday.

I also wanted to let you guys in on what I got to hear as I floated around all day listening in to the tour guides.

Here's some highlights:

1) "It is amazing what you get to be part of when you're a volunteer...They even made a 3 song CD for us at Christmas with Chris, Mack and Wade singing Christmas songs..." - Billy Dean - ekidz tour, 11:30

2) "Without set up and tear down volunteers nothing happens here...it's a great time to come in and work behind the scenes...my whole family helps out" - Randy Fuller - ekidz tour, 6:00

3) "Steve, show them your gun-shot wound..." - John Bishop to Steve Tubel, Production tour, 10:00

4) "We get to hear all of the good stories..." - Jennifer Clouser - FTG tour, 11:30

5) "We weren't going to tell them about the requirement of a parking tattoo..." - Joel Langley - Parking team stop on Guest services tour, 10:00

6) "Thank you..." - countless people all day who felt tremendously welcomed by you as they stepped into an uncertain volunteering opportunity...

A big fat thank you to all of you who got there early, stayed late and gave everything you had to make the new volunteers feel welcome.

I love you guys! I'm so thankful I get to see God's plan unfold on our campus with you at my back!

As Pastor always says, "the best is yet to come..."
