Our Volunteers Rock

PC has the best volunteers. Every church has volunteers but not every church has volunteers that get it. At PC we do!

Last night we had our first volunteer appreciation event called Full Throttle. It was a night to party with and love on our volunteers. It was cool!

Here is how the night went for all you church planters who read blogs like this for ideas
--we had the "Pit Party" from 6-6:30. Chips and salsa
--Dinner started at 6:30
--We had a wii and a xbox360 set up among racing decorations.
--the program started at 7:00
--I welcomed and expressed appreciation
--Greg (worship dude) came and did a version of "don't forget the lyrics" very funny
--then slide/video of where we have come from over the past year -ended with the song God of this City -very moving
--Each staff gave out full throttle awards like the grammys. The award was the energy drink Full Throttle.
--I came up and gave a short vision talk
--We ended by having a drawing for an ipod touch. At the beginning of the night we gave everyone a slip of paper and wrote their name at the top and asked them to write down the name of everyone they talked to. At the end of the night the 20 who had the most names put their slip in a jar and we drew for the ipod. It got people talking to each other. Very cool.

Thanks to my amazing staff for getting it all together.
