Shuuuuwwwuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! WOW! What a day? It is now Tuesday afternoon, and it has really taken me this long to prepare my thoughts!!! Sunday was awesome for so many reasons! Let me share a few...- All three services were well attended and fairly evenly dispersed.
- There is room for more people in every service.
- The band was ON! The songs were perfect! The tone of the service hit the mark.
- Nancy Coates was used by God to sing a perfect and beautiful song.
- We had new faces in every service
- Jared and I actually kept all three services "on time".
- The new NP-3 worship space is AWESOME!
- Every elementary SS room was so full kids had to sit on the ground.
- God's Word was given it's rightful place in our lives!
- Everyone received homework and no one complained.
- We had an incredible attendance of 349!!!!
- Another church showed up after third service and a young guy was baptized into Christ right here in the LCC baptistery!
- A cool breeze took over around picnic time and the blue sky made it perfect weather!
- A TON of people showed up for the picnic.
- The food, fun and fellowship were incredible.
- John Lucas, Geneva Myers and Jen Wise won the dessert baking contest.
- LJ Dozier and Brian Isaacs won the Corn-hole tournament.
- There were a TON of kids playing on the playground.
- There were lots of smiles, laughter, hugs and happiness all over our campus.
A TON of people stayed to help tear down and clean up.- It was just a wonderful day!! God blessed our FALL KICKOFF!!
I must admit, there were some "opportunities" so to be fair, here they are...
- The air conditioning was still out in the Worship Center (and it was hot)!
- We had some teachers forget to show up early and we had a major back-up of parents and kids in the hallway at 10 am.
- We had a few people forget about the change in service times and show up late or early.
- Jennifer and I went out in the first round of the Corn-hole tournament (big surprise, right).
- We fell short of our weekly budget by over $1000 once again.
- We had too much chicken for picnic.
I really had to fish for this list! It was such an amazing day! GOD IS SO GOOD!
Thanks for making our first Sunday of the fall season such a historic and amazing day. What about this Sunday? If I were you, I would not miss a moment! See you on Sunday! Oh yeah, did I tell you how much I love being your minister? I DO!
B. OUT!!
