Today was spent placing some importance on the Sunday morning “thing”.
Like, what do we call it? What is the purpose of it? How can we create the environment? Blah Blah Blah.
This is an inside peek into the thoughts of Jake: (in no particular order)
What is our first message series about? Do we “launch” on Easter or in August? Where do we get more money to fulfill this vision God has given us? Am I praying enough? Do I have enough faith? Am I making wise choices in regards to the creation of Epic? How can we help the monologue (sermon) be more of a dialogue (community learning)? Can someone make the days longer to get more done? How can we get the highlight reel from Sportscenter to show it on a loop about 15 min before we start on Sunday’s? Is it worth it to buy a txt program so people can txt the word: epic to ####? How can we be sure not to lose our focus on Jesus and the betterment of the community? The UofA beat USC tonight in basketball? Who got kicked off American Idol? Did I make in impact today in someone’s life?
Ok enough for now.
But what about at the end of the message at Epic Church’s Sunday Gathering’s can we do a Q&A session? I want to do what it takes to share God’s love with this awesome city of Tucson.
Night….
Epic Church met for the first time in our Sunday gathering place.
We are meeting at Park Place Mall’s Cinemark Theater.
That is right we are meeting in a movie theater. God has worked out an amazing deal to allow us to meet in the busiest movie theater in Tucson. We are thankful for the hospitality shown to us from Cinemark Theater. They have a wonderful staff and have been most accommodating.
We met on Feb. 24th to feel out the space. A long time friend and mentor came with his daughter. Along with some co-workers from Starbucks and some long time friends. I am most thankful for the relationships God has given me. We have a lot of work do to in the coming weeks to get ready for our Grand Opening on March 23rd.
Please visit… www.epicchurchsurvery.com and help us out.
Please pray that I would be able to stay on task, focus on relationships over stuff, and that I would always place my family over ministry.

It is impossible for a Christian to be in sin and be happy.
What does that mean to you?
I want an ice cream truck.
I know I am not the first person to think about this.
I would like to find a cheap or donated ice cream truck. Pimp it out. *thanks Sean for proof texting this.
Picture this…
We pack it out with Otter Pops and other cheap items which kids love.
We just serve the kids in the neighborhoods.
Anyone have an old small box truck?

A few weeks ago I had to submit for the official word from the movie theater place about renting the theater for a year. This waiting game is really hard.
For those of you who don’t know….
Jennifer and I have taken the step in following God to start a church. I have this strong feeling from God that the place needs to be a movie theater at Park Place Mall.
Why the mall?
Well, it matches Jennifer and I pretty well. There are people there who don’t know Jesus. It is a comfortable place for families. We desire to connect with men. Men like going the church about as much as they like going to the dentist. But, they like to see movies. “If they are enviromently comfortable they can become theologically aware.“ Children enjoy going to the movie.
So, please join us in prayer as we await the final word from the national company who needs to give the final OK. I thought this was all a go. But, there was one last hoop to jump though. God has the plan… right?
