Sunday Mind Dump – January 22, 2012

    I am a little late on this Sunday mind dump, considering it is Monday afternoon.
  • Sunday was exhausting
  • Everything seemed to be off today
  • Lead singer lost her voice
  • Switched out songs last minute
  • Music was rough as a result of the 2 things above
  • Things didn’t click
  • In the end, people came forward with requests for prayer to help broken relationships, marriages, families, and for others.
  • The service had huge bumps, but in the end it was a powerful day
  • Children’s wing is being redone, including the foyer, hallways, and more
  • Our focus on children will now be evident!
  • If you walk in our doors you will know that we love children
  • New faces and old faces are being seen again at Hurst Church!
  • Excitement is contagious, and it is spreading
  • I am a little late with this Sunday recap of Hurst Church, but hey here it is!

January 1 – Sunday Night Dump

  • It was a really good service at Hurst Church today.
  • The reason it was good was because we took some good steps in multiple areas
  • Had a good message, but could have hit it harder
  • Decent turnout for January 1
  • We will begin working with the leadership team and laying out the future
  • I am really excited about what is ahead for everyone that attends Hurst Church and the people it will affect in the community around
  • We are laying the ground work for some good things in the Fort Worth area
  • If you know anything about set design, lighting, or sound we want you! Uncle Sam Wants You!
  • Do you like drama? Do you like putting together costumes, acting, or anything to do with a very well done Easter drama? If so, we need to hear from you.
  • Easter Easter Easter!
  • That’s it for tonight. I am tired from the holidays and kicking things off here in Fort Worth. It is going to be a fun wild ride!

Why am I Excited for Christmas?

I am very excited about Christmas in 2012. Why? Multiple reasons. Our family has had a rough couple of years with the birth and subsequent death of our son John Carter Rinard in 2010, then a miscarriage, followed by a twin pregnancy that ended in the result of beautiful Claire Rinard going home to Heaven, and Marlo Joy an amazing miracle born 14 weeks premature, and fighting for life. Today Marlo is home with us in Texas, and making her presence felt! My parents were involved in a horrific car accident and survived. The list goes on, but why does that make Christmas special in 2012?

Christmas 2012, is on a Sunday. What a great day to celebrate the birth of Jesus. So, we celebrate new life, the life of our Savior, and the new life that is ours for the asking. This Christmas, I will celebrate with my entire family, all my brothers and sisters. All of us! This is the first time in 16 years all of my siblings were together for Christmas! Another reason to celebrate new life!

I am celebrating the life that gives life to all this Christmas.

If you are in the Fort Worth area, please consider joining us for a brief and memorable Christmas service at 10:30 celebrating the greatest gift we all have been given. Click here for location details for Christmas 2012.
