Ever See the Movie, "Phenomenon?"

What if we started a new children's worship service? Lets say we gut the old gym in the basement and put in a whole new look and feel more like a Nickolodian stage or something. What if we moved our worship services on Sunday morning from three upstairs to two upstairs and one downstairs? In addition to this, we keep moving forward on the Sunday evenings prayer service the Lay Speakers group is leading and excited about along with keeping some sort of our Wednesday evening WOW service. That would make five organized large group worship experiences every week. What if the two services on Sunday morning were just enough different that the choir and orcherstra would take primary music responsibility at one service and we kept things just enough to the Hymnal side of the isle that folks at the present traditional service would feel comfortable 80-90% of the time. And what if the Worship Team/Praise Band would take the primary music leadership at the other service and it would move just enough to the praise side of the isle that folks from the present contemporary services would experience God moving in new ways but also get a little of the flavor of things from our heritage? And what if we had a new coffee machine out in the fellowship hall with free cupachio or hot choc. , just push the button like down at the gas station? What if the two worship services upstairs lasted about an hour and half, so that we could finally incorporate all the things you would like us to incorporate into worship? What if at the same time we had this Elementary children's worship going downstairs which also incorporated Sunday School as we now know it into something compllety new and fresh? What if we had children's church for 50 minutes and then a small group breakout session by age or whatever for an additional 20 minutes? What if Jr and Sr high youth were the worship assistants at the children's worship time. What if we had Holy Communion upstairs at every service. Not sure about downstairs? Not that the kids aren't worthy, but some parents like the children to wait for them in this area of Spiritual experience. What if at the same time we have started at least one or two or more home church group meeting midweek or on Sunday and they were using the same materials that we use on Sunday, or at least were following the same scriptures as the weekly Study offers so that we were all doing the same thing all the time. What if we we offered a whole lot of small group studies for this fall like Beginnings and Comanions and Disciple. Maybe like twenty different groups starting in the fall with folks all growing like crazy for God. What if we really started a mission to the college kids at Iowa Western. Like provide a worship time and supportive stuff that help them experience God at this time in their life. What if we did some strategic planning to figure out the best way to move through all of this wonderful growth that is taking place. What if we talked seriously about facilitate and staffing and finances with an eye on the future and another eye on God. Maybe we will find we are looking at the same thing, for certainly the future is God and only God. Maybe you guys will never let me go on vacation for a week again where my mind goes off into these hyper-ideas and just free-wheels. Maybe I shouldn't drink three ice teas and then sit and try to write. Maybe everything I have written about is in our near future. What do you think?
