WHOOP WHOOP!
Not everyone ck'd in...... so we could maybe add 15 more gals to the above number!
Here is some of the feedback I received (please keep in mind these are emails that are to me personally but have some very good input in them and I wanted to share them with you as this is a TEAM effort and the night would not have ran smoothly without an incredible Team of each one of you lovely talented ladies!!) If you have any input emails......I would love to post them as well.........
Hi....just thought I'd send you a quick note to let you know what a good job you did last night. The evening was well organized and covered a very interesting and meaningful topic in a very dignified way....good job! Our table leader did an excellent job too and made the evening fun..... PS I was gad there was a purpose for the "coat".....I couldn't imagine why you were wearing it on such a hot night.....great twist....
*****************************************************************************
Just wanted to say “WOW” That is for you, you are an awesome speaker, and organizer. I really enjoyed the expresso meeting last night. I know my sister loves to come to them, and she always tries to talk me into it, but I always seem to be running . Last night I decided to come mainly because my neice kept calling me, and I did have to leave by 8:45 to pick up my daughter but I have to tell you I was really enjoying myself and kept checking my clock not because I had to leave but I was hoping I would get it all in before I did have to go!! Thank you for opening it up to “outsiders”, it seems to be quite an extraordinary group of women. I also enjoyed our table host very much. I cannot remember her name right now. She was about my moms age, short blond hair, and one of your cute pink flowers in it. Lovely lady!!
*********************************************************************************
You gotta know…………….that was the BEST night ever. It truly was. Jammed pack was the ‘house’ and JESUS got all the glory. I love what you do!!! I seriously do. I loved your pink coat that you shed and the FORGIVEN shirt. You are BEST at what you do. I remember your heartbeat to go and grow so may Christ do just that!!!!
Anyway…..I want to make a suggestion and also a praise report!!!!
At my table I had 3 NEW girls!!! That’s HUGE!!!!!!!
Two of the girls related to Jan’s story…….they both had children (age 2yrs and 4yrs) that had been diagnosed with autism and bone marrow transplant. One started crying. She wants to ‘hide’ it and also wants to get back to church; former Catholic. The other feels ‘labeled’ and recently dedicated her life to Christ at cS.
They are needing to get plugged in!! I gave them ALL the forms in the folder. They were excited!!!!!
SUGGESTION:
Can there be a way we can formally exchange emails (form to fill out) at our table? What about asking them to return to that table in October??? Not sure if you even like that idea??? Just FYI
You have DONE and are DOING an AMAZING job. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!
Oh….1 more last thought………..
SUGGESTION:
Have a time table leaders can PRAY for their girls. Maybe you come up and say we have 3 minutes left so this would be a time to wrap up and PRAY.
I had HEAVY hearts at my table………….’secrets’. I would have loved to have stormed the throne for their needs.
**********************************************************************
Sorry i'm a little late, BUT i just wanted to say how much I LOVED the Expresso
event and i truly wanted to THANK YOU for all your hard work!!!!
It means so much to so many and we are very blessed because of the
special love that you have in your heart. Thank you for caring so much!
Have a great day and weekend and enjoy God's beautiful cleansing showers.
THANKS AGAIN!!!!
***********************************************************************
Wow, some awesome feed back, what did you hear?
Were there ways we could serve the gals better?
Another friend of mine said Tan do you pray with the panelists after they have shared so they don't leave with "Open" wounds, do you pray with them to close them?
Wow what a powerful suggestion and the answer was "no"
I seem to get so busy after that we don't pray together,
I called each panel member Tuesday and prayed with the on the phone and apologized for not
praying with them after they spoke.
Another friend suggested someone be the coordinator of the panelists......... To love on them and stay with them until they go on. Some times the panelists can really have their nerves run away with them until they come on the stage which can be anywhere from 30 to 40 min after eXpresso starts. Again, What an awesome idea and I am working with a gal who is praying about this position.
Another thing I heard was it was extremely warm and obviously squished........
A couple of things with this that are huge positives!
1. The black drapes are down for now and this will help with extra room as well as the thermostat was located behind the drapes therefore making it very very difficult to read how warm the room truly was, it was super cold behind the drapes.
2. We will be doing the October eXpresso in the Student Center and I am working on a new room set up. I was thinking about setting up all the Bistro tables closest to the stage as it will help free up some space and the layout I think will look nice. Any suggestions with this?
3. The student center was just freshly painted and measured for carpet. They are trying to decide between decorative concrete and carpet as it is in desperate need of replacement.
Ok let's talk each individual mini ministry within eXpresso:
Table Hostess Coordinator:
Kristina Bradley
480-980-8977 Cell
480-361-2556 Hm
kbradley14@cox.net
We had an awesome group of women hostessing tables. Kris was able to pray with them prior and I have to tell you as I walked around visiting with gals before we started the program, the table hostess's were already busy at work doing introductions and having some awesome conversations.
Thank you Kristina for coordinating all the Talented table hostess's and thank you to all our awesome Table hostess's for loving on the women at your tables. You made such a huge impact on the gals that attended eXpresso!
We are in need of a total of 30 table hostess's, if you know someone with a gift of hospitality could you please forward the onto Kristina Bradley? Thank you so much!
Kristina, Thank you for the awesome table questions, I heard great feedback from the conversations that were spurred because of your creative questions!
Thank you Kristina for your heart to serve as the Table hostess Coordinator!
Set up/ Tear Down Coordinator:

email jaimeandderek@hotmail.com
Can I just give a BIG shout out to all the gals who came and set up for the last eXpresso? They were incredible problem solvers to the space and room set up. Thank you ladies!
Jaime Thank you for coordinating all these amazing women, these gals brought kids and a movie player and took time out of their mornings to set up the room, THANK YOU!!
Thank you for all the gals who stayed late to help put everything away, some were even some of the gals who helped set up and although it was a very busy night, tear down took no time at all. We continue to get better and better at this!
Thank you Jaime for your heart to serve as the set up/tear down coordinator for eXpresso
I am thinking we should do a little something different on the bistro tables for center pieces. Jaime and I will be going through the boxes and putting on our thinking caps so if you have any suggestions to mix in to the center pieces we are using now please send them to myself or Jaime.
****Jaime is having hand surgery this Saturday please pray for her recovery!

Thank you Starla for the time you take to find such awesome raffles and for being our raffle coordinator!
Ladies if you have a business or know a business that you could send Starla the contact for she would so appreciate it!
Also someone had asked about having the raffles out at a back table or somewhere where women could visually see them and spark some interest in the awesome raffles as we transition into the big building to spur the gals to stay and do the table talk time after to have a chance to win some awesome raffles. Please brainstorm with Starla on this and send her your suggestions.

work ghali@cox.net
What a great place for gals to stop and gather any information on our awesome ministries we offer here at Cornerstone. Thank you Sara for coming early and staying late to welcome gals to the table to love on them!
The lanyards worked awesome, Sara thought maybe we should have them for the team at the team kiosk ck in and then she could collect them at her table after eXpresso. Thoughts?
I had someone ask if we should put your table inside the student center and I am wondering with the black drapes down if we could have you somewhere in the back.
********************************************************************
We are about ready to embark on a very busy season so I would like to see if we can communicate via our blog for this eXpresso? We have a coordinator meeting right before the next eXpresso to put on any finishing touches. Please let me hear your hearts/thoughts.
THANK YOU TEAM, eXpresso would not be with out all of you! We continue to grow and just fine tune. My heart over flows and I am so honored to be able to work with each of you special gals. Please forward this out to all your teams and please be cking back to the blog regularly.
