Yesterday we gave every volunteer @ Courageous Church the day off…without telling anyone else.  No set up.  No breakfast.  No music.  No parking crew.  No Courageous Kids.  No signage.  No sound system.  Nothing!  It was a mess…just like we wanted it :-)

Our goal was to show everyone what a Sunday without volunteers looks like!  It pretty much sucks.

We got this idea from our friends @ Elevation Church and it really worked! We had a ton of people commit to being a part of our Sunday team and we can’t wait to see how next Sunday goes!

This was a great idea because most people don't know how much work goes on behind the scenes before service begins. It's a lot of work that depends on lots of people.

Great idea!

My favorite part of this video: "Everyone knows Kumbaya!" *breakout of whistles* :-)

Even the kids' programs? Good for you! I don't think Elevation Church did that.

How did it go over? How was the message communicated? Did people get it? It'd be great to hear in a few months if people still get it.
