well the energy and excitement put into the first TGIF (together gathering in faith) went into a sweet belly flop. i flopped when only two people showed up. i guess people thought it didn't start until next week. that's probably pretty true---the bonus is that next week's evening is all planned. the bummer is that i still think this congregation is just a sunday morning congregation. people chat after worship and flock to first sunday socials, and most committees meet on sundays after worship. so i struggle with seeing folks only on sunday, and my primary teaching opportunity is during the sermon. eeep.

i guess it's all about a clever announcement on sunday to get people hyped up for friday nights.
we'll see how that goes.

now it's time to write the sermon and drink coffee.
