Parking 6,000 People

Yesterday I started on the Parking Team at Eastview!!! I am so excited.  We server for both morning services for a month, and then we get a month off - so I will sever for a month, every other month.   I am super excited about this!  I loved being on the parking team at Koinonia, and it was one of the really hard things to leave in Canada.    But, Praise God, I get to join here at Eastview!!!!   At Koinonia we had two services, somewhere around 1,000 people (I think) between the two and one entrance and one exit to the parking lot.     At Eastview we have (that we serve for) two services, somewhere around 6,000 people between the two (many bus trips, using 4 busses, are made to and from the next door high school parking lot, plus the City bus now stops there), and two entrances and three exits.  We also have a bigger team on board.  But with only 4-5 people per entrance, it still get's busy.   Plus, at Koinonia the exit was a different pathway than the entrance, but here at Eastview it's the same pathway.  So for 30-40 minutes between services each person has to manage three different flows of traffic to the same lane (1 flow leaving the row, 1 flow leaving rows further back and now lined up on the enter/exit path, and 1 flow entering).  Plus we have to make way for front parking for visitors and handicap attendees, and the entrance and exit of the drop-off flow.   It gets a bit chaotic, but it is soooooo fun, and it goes waaaaaayyy too fast!   I love it!!!!!  Praise God!!
