Get Your Strategy On
Here’s the "box score" for this past weekend at Granger Community Church.
Music: "Hide" by Joy Williams
Message: "Finding Life’s Rhythm" — Mark Beeson, Senior Pastor, introduced the Stomp Out Loud series reminding everyone, regardless of what we’ve been told in the past, we matter to God.
Service Highlights: The new series launch was a huge success (see the stats below). The media team developed a clever pre-service countdown. That was topped, though, by the initial video which featured guys from the band eating at a restaurant–they were eating in musical rhythm. It may have been one of the top five service elements I remember seeing at Granger. It was that good. Then, we had some live rhythms on the platform that set up the message perfectly. The arts team certainly hit a home run this weekend.
Stats: 5,625 total attendance (4,583 adults + 1,042 kids); 43.8% increase from the same weekend last year
Percentage of weekend attendance by service:
Final Notes: As I noted earlier, the video was top-notch this weekend. We don’t do this for every series, but I’m sure WiredChurches.com will make all the video from this entire series available on a DVD. We’ll try to turn that around as soon as possible, so you can pick up a copy. Really. You’re going to want to see the restaurant clip.
