That's right, in case you haven't heard it the past 1,000 times it's been said, last night was the Iowa City Salt Company Kick-off in the Blue Moose. It was awesome. We started out with 75 chairs plus some bar stools, and a bench on the wall for seating. That quickly filled up, so more chairs were brought out. Those filled up. There were people standing, or sitting on steps by the end. I've heard a count of 210--and I think only about a third were part of the church plant or visitors from Ames TSC. I had thought that we wouldn't have very many attendees, but I'm glad I was wrong. I guess I've just been meeting the wrong people.
I was sitting in front of the sound and light boards, so I could see much of the crowd in front of me. I could see as people from Iowa City stood--before a lot of us yahoos from Ames--during the closing worship. I stood in awe of God's work as raised hands peppered the room. I temporarily lost the ability to speak from the worship. In short, it was amazing. And once again, I'm reminding myself "Never doubt that God will come through".
I can't wait to see what he does there next week.
