FREE SMOOTHIE

Sunday, please go to RC Coffee and order a smoothie or coffee drink on me. Please let them know you are on RC Creative Worship.

SHOUT OUT!

This week's shout out goes to Kat. She sings as a BGV and is going to lead Jr. High worship. Kat jumped in and took on leading the children from the Easter choir.

Kat, thank you for your faithfulness to the team and desire to improve. Thank you for coming to me and asking about choir details and agendas which really helped me download with ease! I also appreciate you supporting as I went and ministered at two places recently.

WANT TO WIN? CHIME IN!

I am considering doing an all request Fuel only this time giving people a list to choose from. Got any favs?

THANKS FOR HAVING THE CHILDREN ON STAGE

I just wanted to send you a quick note about some of the testimonies from Easter.

I had many families stop and call Todd and I both to tell us that their friends and family that would never, ever come to church came to see the children sing in the choir. Every person that came to us were so excited because their company loved every aspect of church. Some of them can't wait to come back. I just wanted to say that all the hard work paid off and seeds are growing as we speak! I am so excited! Just a huge confirmation that having a children's choir is a great opportunity to invite all who know them, and in that they are being blessed themselves! I am sure lives were saved just because they thought they were coming to see a child sing. :)

WEEKEND RECAP

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!
