I love it when . . .

an idea comes together quick and with contributions from different folks. Here's the timeline on one such recent idea:

• Last Thursday morning get an email from a Hillcrester with an idea for a service project Hillcrest could do in the community.
• Later that morning get a call from a Hillcrester (who's actually married to the first Hillcrester!) who says we should check and see if the Powerhouse would qualify for a service project- the same one his spouse had emailed on earlier (unknown to him!).
• Now, when that happens, you've got to think you're onto a good idea!
• Email other Hillcresters to see if they too are interested in this project.
• Meanwhile, send a facebook message to a contact at Norberg Paints to see if Powerhouse would qualify for this project.
• Receive a facebook message- yes, the house qualifies!
• Now on Friday, onto another circle of communication- email/text outreach elder to see if project works for September where we need a mission focus project. It does! Also, email lead pastor to get him in on the loop.
• Meanwhile, hear back from other Hillcresters who are interested in the project, and update them as to the developments.
• Finally, update the volunteer crew who's been tirelessly and wonderfully working on the Powerhouse on Wednesday evenings and let them know the developments.

I love it when this happens! There's movement, progress, a good idea being fleshed out. Now, here's hoping for no rain the 2nd weekend September . . .
