…and “they” are the reason WHY:

more reasons “why” every moment of every day!

It’s been a whirlwind - a crazy great hurricane of planning, work and prayers…and not just for today, but all the Sundays to come…all the C3 Sundays that lie before us.
It was beautiful and breathtaking - all of the volunteers, all of the expectant faces, all of the…seekers. Even the dreary, cold weather didn’t deter C3 from being a warm light. Even the four statues on the platform, weighing in the hundreds of pounds, didn’t stop the “Crew” from getting all the platforms ready to go in record time. Even the masses of visitors didn’t fluster the “Staff” and cause them to lose their smiles. Even the wave of new kids (coming in cold and sometimes grumpy) didn’t divert the “C3 Kids” team from their mission of making God’s love fun and easy to understand.
It was sooo early, sooo cold, sooo wet and dreary when C3 started the morning, but it didn’t stop us…it couldn’t!
The energy was incredible in both packed services. Many regular C3ers were standing and willing to give up their seats - whatever it takes for more to come in.
It was an incredible morning.
Then, the High Schoolers came over to hang out - more fun.
Now, it’s late and I feel awful…wonderfully, horribly, exhausted and exhilarated - I feel past the point of tired, teetering on delirium - getting sick (a kidney infection from no sleep, too much coffee and stress), and just plain worn out. It’s Sunday night, and tomorrow we’ll begin planning for doing it all over again next week…
…of course, job #1 is MORE SPACE!!
So, tonight I’ll try to rest and recuperate…because tomorrow is a brand new day (and since it’s a holiday, I plan to wear sweat pants ALL DAY!)
Good night to another awesome, crazy, exhausting, wonderful Sunday - I’m going to bed now so that I can start preparing for the next one…
Peace.
Below, I wrote about our first weekend as a “theater church”. Here are just a few pics - more will come in the following weeks…
Here’s one of our beautiful, honkin’ trailers! 
And another (there are three in all).
The beautiful praise music, the cool stage, all of it…it wouldn’t have been possible without all of the volunteers: The Crew: “Setting up…early on Sat. morning”
And “The Staff”: “Getting the Lobby ready to go” , and “arriving bright and early Sat. morning to help out”.
Darrell “training some of the dozens of greeters”
These commited C3′ers show that volunteering can be fun! At C3, kids are a priority - The C3 Kids Team worked hard to make all of the kids areas safe, fun and efficient! Miss Verna and Monica love the C3 Kids! Powerhouse was a blast as the C3 Kids Team rocked the house.
and the Clubhouse puppets were awesome!
Our smallest C3′ers were not forgotten - they had a beautiful and safe environment of their own…
…complete with a clean floor put down every week!
Barry, Verna, and Travis and “Staff” worked hard to make the check-in process run as smoothly as possible.
And Brandon and Barry O. set the lighting and computers. So many volunteers made the morning a success.
They paved the way for Byron to speak passionately about the importance of investing in others.
The awesome volunteers of C3 church proved that they understood this principle. We are all so grateful and know that God will bless all of their efforts. Sunday was a wonderful day…and just a preview of what’s to come so it will only get better and better! I’m so privileged to be among the group of people that make up the community of faith that is…C3.
Peace and thanks to you all.
