Way to go LCC! It was obvious that everyone spent a lot of time praying and inviting! WOW! The cool thing about Sunday was not only the fact that people had to create new parking spots because we were out of parking! It was not only that NP-3 was packed with elementary kids and that we signed in more than a dozen brand new kids! It was not only that our Care Ministry team members were so busy they were not sure if they were coming or going and that they had to recruit others to help! It was not only that we cracked that 400 mark once again! It was not only that we closed in on $10,000 in our giving! It was not only that the choir sounded amazing and "rocked it out"! It was not only that the band really used their gifts to glorify God! It was not only that we learned how "man looks on the outside, but God looks on the heart". Well, maybe it was all of those things and so much more! I honestly cannot write everything that God was doing at LCC on Sunday. It was just a God-filled amazing day!The thing that really sticks out in my mind was how God answered our prayers! Allow me to explain. You see, we pray every week, that God will send us people who need...and He did. I met and prayed with tons of people on Sunday. People searching for Christ. People who just need healing. People who are looking for a growing and vibrant community to worship and serve. People with hurts. People coming to church simply because someone who cared invited them. People celebrating victory in their lives. Old friends and new friends alike! I have heard so many stories about people sharing with each other and praying together. It was amazing! Remember, EVERY SUNDAY IS FRIEND DAY AT LCC!
Finally, I want to say, THANK YOU to everyone who made Sunday such a great opportunity to minister to our community, family and friends! From coffee ministry, communion preparation, teachers, servers, care ministry, parking attendants and anyone else, It is a true blessing to serve alongside all of you.
Friend day is over, but really, it has just begun, so now, let's all PRAY! Did you know that God sent us like 15 families that indicated they are searching for a home church? Pray! People are hungry for genuine community and we have some of the best. Wanna know how to help? See me ASAP! I cannot wait to see what God is going to do next Sunday! Remember, live it everyday! Worship all the time and never miss a chance to share the "good news"!
B OUT!!!
P.S. A special thanks to Mrs. Hoffman (Caleb's Kindergarten teacher) and her husband for being Caleb's friend on Sunday! It meant a lot to him and to Jennifer and I. We know that you guys have a ton of responsibility at your church and it was not easy to get away. This truly will leave a wonderful memory for Caleb to treasure! God bless you!
