I am sharing a few pics from our service yesterday. This was before the crowd showed up and we were all going through final preparations. Our re-grand opening is on Sept 16th. We will be doing a mailing and advertising for this day - I am afraid we are going to run out of chairs - run out of space already - I am wondering already if Pastor Jimmy is planning that third service! 320 yesterday and all we did was open the doors in a new location. SO I guess word of mouth got out and folks looking at the website. Maybe they have been planning to come the last few weeks waiting for us to be closer to where they are. Funny how things work out that way... Jesus was the same way. He didn't sit still and wait for folks to come to Him - He took it to the people and met them where they were. I feel big things happening and we are all standing at the foot of the mountains looking up. Its not a mountain to climb - it just pointing our eyes and focusing us on God.
The band had it going on yesterday - Jimmy preached a message about who we are as a church. He reminded us that we are a church for anyone but not for everyone. We are here to welcome those who have given up on church - traditional church- have never been to church or who are coming for other reasons other than their own. Maybe its wife making the husband go or a child who wants to go to church because of their friends. Maybe its a family who is struggling and needs answers in life. Whatever the reason - we are glad they are there.
I need an army of volunteers to make all this happen! I am not in panic mode - the old me yes - I would have folded up like a bad tent. BUT I know God will stand with us on this journey. He will handle the details. Pray more - Panic less. God works under those conditions and we have to do our best to stay focused during this time. Growth pains are a great thing to have!
Hope to see ya'll @R2C2 some day soon. God knows if and when that will take place.
Blessings,
