Thank you for an incredible weekend and all the preparations you made gearing up!
We were able to count 48 people's hands raised for salvation. 14 of those stood up as first time salvations!!! It all goes to your heavenly accounts!
I am so proud of the team. There were many moving parts to this weekend...choir, new song, production, new stage, where to stand?, aviom funkiness, dark stage, three services, practice with kids, dance team accidentally stepping on gear, belts needed, snacking between services, drum door falling, family members coming for the first time, neighbors experiencing God for the first time (and loving Him), new people raising their hands in worship (glow-sticks and all), kids having a ball, proud parents of choir members, a full house, super message, fun yet God-focused back stage, new stage, new song and I know you have more!
Thank you to the BGV's for your leadership. I cannot do it all. At that, I did too much. But, the person who was to lead the choir got sick after we had announced and auditioned people so...bgv's and myself had to pull it together! Thank you Terryl and Zach for making the cd's and sheets for the choir. Zach and Rach, you were a tremendous lead, as well.
I apologize for the miscommunication or lack thereof and not talking about "God, Great God" the week before Easter. I appreciate all the flexibility and humility. I know we stomped all over the devil this weekend.
Through it all, God was so faithful to us. When it's just us, we can do nothing but through Christ, we can do all things! And we did MANY AND I MEAN MANY DIFFERENT ELEMENTS THIS WEEKEND! Nahshon met a guy in the bathroom after a service who was sobbing. He said he just walked in the worship center doors and was overwhelmed with the presence of God.
Enough said...this is what it is all about! Nice job. Thank you. I wish I could be so many different people at once so I could hug you all, right now and buy you a boat!

Thanks for the thought on the boat, but as they say...better to have friends with a boat:-) Though a lifetime of free smoothies would work just fine:)
In all seriousness, this weekend was increadible or in the words of one of my elementry school budies...rad-i-dude-a-cool! I love the fact that over 48 people made a decsision for Christ. WOW! Thanks to all the team!
I was so blessed to be a part of this weekend. It was soo much fun practicing with you all and then worshipping 3 services and each service was amazing. You all deserve a pat on the back and a firm handshake...as well as a boat as pastor Mel said.
The entire weekend was amazing - from all the hard work put into the Eggstravaganza to the set (WOW!!) to the choir and phenomenal worship team! So very cool, all the people choosing Christ! It puts everything into perspective, doesn't it?!?!
