Thanks to everyone who sent me replies. The winner was my favorite Nazarene, Brannon Hancock. Here are the correct answers:

1. D (Elevate) – I can’t believe no one got this right.
2. B (60 minutes) – 4 songs, prayer, sermon, closing song. Nice.
3. B (75 minutes) – And it was this long only because it had a 5 minute coffee break in the middle of it.
4. A (100 folks) – It was an 8am service, what can you expect?
5. B (500 folks) – All crammed into a high school auditorium.
6. D (67%) – Yeah, I barely knew any of the music I sang. And if you exclude one of the services, the percentage goes up to 90% unknown. Interpreting what that means I’ll leave as an exercise for the reader.
7. D (105dB) – And it was mixed incredibly well. I loved it (just wish I knew the songs!) Incidentally, I’ve had complaints at EBC for sound levels a full 10 dB less than that (i.e. about half the perceived volume).
8. D (All 3) – Makes me thankful for the folks at EBC who work hard to not make mistakes in this critical piece of Sunday morning ministry.
9. D (All 3) – No surprise there.
10. C (2 of 3) – Perhaps I need to show them my tiny rubber band trick.
11. C (twice) – Really liked the method of serving done at Flood.
12. D (All 3) – Natch. This is California.

In completely unrelated news, I’m now on my 5th book of the trip. Here’s what I’ve read:

• Jayber Crow – Wendell Berry (9/10)
• Sin Boldly – Cathleen Falsani (8/10)
• Through A Screen Darkly – Jeffrey Overstreet (7/10)
• The Air I Breathe – Louis Giglio (4/10)
• Dune – Frank Herbert (in process)

Good times. But I trade them all for a kiss from my wife and a hug from my girls. Thank God for Skype!
