After the countdown we went into a "text intro" (thanks zach) which was basically a computer driven message on the screens that was communicating to the students like a text message. I was surprised at how much the students were interacting with the video.
We came out of that and into me doing announcements and offering. Then the band did an amazing job with worship. During one of the worship songs we gave students the opportunity to text in what God is to them...I was honestly nervous about this at first, but it was unreal!! Here's a sample of what it looked like

We also had Derrick painting during worship...which was also incredible! Great job D!
Worship really was unreal this week...Great job band!
Finally we went into an interactive message, which this week was dominated by the poll questions we were asking students about dating. Here is a view of what it looked like...
We had a panel up front of that students could ask questions to, or we just allowed students that wanted to to share their opinion openly...if they wanted to stand up to the mic...
Overall, I was extremely pleased with last nights service!! I am excited because next week we are going to be utilizing the texting again, but I am going to get more time to preach!!
This was definitely a HUGE success for us!!

dude, this seriously sounds like an amazing service...especially w/ all of the elements that you implemented into one night. awesome to hear about what God is doing in your ministry and how He's using you at metro. i would totally love to rip off your idea and use the texting thing in one of my messages, so if you don't mind i would love to hear from you on what worked and what didn't work, and how to pull something like this off (770-617-3111). thanks bro.
