today…actually yesterday (monday) was a long and demanding day. it’s midnight and i’m just now getting around to my weekly quarterbacking.
what a powerful day…a great sunday!
last week, we had five new families visiting north point for the first time.
this week, we had four more new families here with us.
i’m not sure what god is doing in all of our lives, but there is really something pretty cool going on.
i had some amazingly great conversations with people. deep and profound.
are you making good connections with people on sundays?
are you moving out of your comfort zones?
are you meeting new people and letting them into your life?
we had nearly 50 in the first service and about 130 in the second hour. that’s a good crowd.
it’s kind of crazy, but i can look through a list of our church family and still tell you who was missing on any given sunday…one of the perks of a smaller church, i suppose.
three weeks ago, we had nearly 70 “regulars” missing…last week, nearly 50…and yesterday there were over 30 that i could count.
each week, though, we still had a full house. pretty cool.
i have really grown to deeply appreciate the public reading of scripture that we do every sunday.
does it bug you as much as it bugs me that we still have such a fixation with making sacrifices to god…even though jesus is the once and for all sacrifice for sin?
what are you still trying to offer to god to try and make things right with him? church attendance? bible study? prayer? inviting others to church? saying “no” to certain sins? giving money to the advent conspiracy? what?
maybe it’s time to revisit the cross…
i’ve loved singing inside out the past three weeks.
the band was unusually good this week. great song set…it really went well with the sermon. i love it when we all seem to be on the same page with what the holy spirit is doing in our time together.
we found out right before the second service began that brandon (the bass player) hasn’t washed his hair in three weeks. how they figured that out right then and there is a mystery to me. but, dude…you gotta know the difference between conditioner and shampoo!
logan is making some killer slides for youth ministry announcements these days. the punk youth minister has some mad graphic skills…
the advent conspiracy is rocking right now. we’re closing in on five grand raised…and we haven’t even reached thanksgiving.
i’m really starting to believe we are going to reach our goal of $15k
are you ready to serve at the holiday at the hall? we need everybody out there to make a difference!
sunday lunch at chipotle with friends? it doesn’t get much better…
