Box Score for Weekend of May 28/29

May 31, 2005 in Inside GCC with 2 Comments

Here’s the "box score" for this past weekend at Granger Community Church.

Music: "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" by Green Day; "All About You" by United Live

Message: "Stompin’ Together" — Bob Laurent, Teaching Pastor, taught about the importance of living life in community with others. He highlighted several of the "one another’s" from God’s Word including be devoted to one another (Romans 12:10), accept (Romans 15:7), serve (Galatians 5:13), forgive (Colossians 3:13), encourage (I Thessalonians 5:11) and love one another (John 15:12-13).

RhythmService Highlights: The live experience included a group of guys and gals using brooms to create the beat with dance. The video showed the rhythms of a neighborhood scene that ended with a toddler in a lawnmower disaster. (Don’t worry. No one was hurt.) The service also included a video review of the all-church service we held on the campus of Notre Dame one year ago. It’s the one-year anniversary of our Come Together stewardship campaign.

Stats: 4,725 total attendance (3,812 adults + 913 kids); 14.0% increase from the same weekend last year

Percentage of weekend attendance by service:

  1. Sun 10:15 am = 28%
  2. Sat 5:30 pm = 20%
  3. Sat 7:30 pm = 20%
  4. Sun 8:45 am = 16%
  5. Sun 11:45 am = 16%

Final Notes: Next weekend is the final weekend that we’ll be using just the new half of the auditorium.

    Ya this was seriously one of my favorite sermons. There wasn’t anything flashy that made it stick out, but i walked away and was able to tell my gf that if we maintained those things in our relationship we would be… well i dont know the right adjective, but it’d be really good. :)

    I was able to attend the 5:30 service this past Saturday night with my wife & 2 friends. (I pastor a church plant in Valparaiso about an hour away.) It was a great service! The emcee wasn’t bad either. ;)

    I’m surprised to see in the “box scores” that the 5:30 and 7:30 services are tied for 2nd place in attendance. Strange the way those bounce around. I would think the Sunday 11:45 service would do better… Oh well! That’s one reason why measuring is a good idea! What you expect isn’t always what you get! :)

    I’m excited for you guys to get out of the “little mini-auditorium” and into the full-size one! :)
