What A Team!

As we head towards our first Preview Service on Easter Sunday one of the things that really has me excited is how we are coming together as a team. Here are some ways some of the folks are contributing.

• John Haasis is coordinating the First Contact Team (greeters, ushers, communion supplies, name tags and on and on).
• Debbie Haasis will be our front door greeter. (Man is she good at that!)
  
• Tim & Kathi Vetter will see to it that we have some delicious snacks and drinks on that morning. They too will be greeters.
  
• Jeff & Michele Drey are working with me on community engagement activities (CSI's). Jeff will be ushering and Michele greeting as well.
  
• Bill Stewart worked with Mike Lawson on an A/V proposal to ensure we have everything we need when it comes to sound, electronics, etc. Bill is also our bass player.
  
• Gayle, Kelley Hainline and Sandy Stewart are working hard on putting together a top notch Sunday morning kid's program. (I can't wait for everyone to see the set up for the kids area.)
  
• Joe Hainline will be our sound man.
• Matt Ehlen will run the computer during the service.
• Ebie Ehlen and Amanda Hartwig will make sure there's plenty of coffee on Sunday mornings. (A very important job, indeed.)
• Mark & Gina Goede sorted 15,000 postcards for our second mailing that will go out the week of March 9. (You two are my heroes!)
• Tim Vetter is also helping me with our assimilation strategy. (Sounds dangerous doesn't it?)
• Dave Bull will be one of our stud ushers. Go Dave!
  

I appreciate the sense of commitment demonstrated by everyone. To those of you who have volunteered to do more, I'll make sure I pass along things as they become available. In the meantime, GO TEAM!
