Today has been an amazing day. So much to write about – so much to think and meditate on – God is doing some interesting things around here and I am truly thankful to be a part of it. But, I have to say that the BEST part of today is this little guy…
Isn’t he amazing?
Some other thoughts about today:
- The day started early – got to the church at 7:15 to meet some of the guys early to finish up some prep for the service. Tyler, Matthew and Kevin are some of the most incredible people on earth and I am blessed to be a part of this team. Thanks guys for getting up early to make things happen… (the rest of the team is pretty amazing, too…)
- Everyone brought their A-game today – all of the different elements came together to bring a message of transformation and hope to this city. Carolyn and her team – as always – did such a great job with all of the technical aspects of the service. They really take their jobs seriously and the atmosphere they set every week makes such a difference. I hope to have some pics to post tomorrow. It’s hard to capture the spirit of a service in photos, but I’m sure Matthew got some great shots.
- The house was packed today with regulars, their family members and visitors from the community. I hope they went away from the service with a better understanding of the sacrifice Jesus made for us and with a renewed desire to reach out to this city with the love of Christ. I can’t imagine anyone leaving the service today without a fire being lit under their butts. 🙂
- After the service, the family headed over to mom and dads for dinner and an egg hunt in the back yard. We had a great time – thanks, Mom and Dad!
- This week promises to be a busy one. We are hosting Myles Monroe next weekend – Sunday AM & PM and Monday PM. If you are anywhere within driving distance of us, you do not want to miss these special services. You can go here to find more information.
- The following week is a HUGE one for us – all of our new lighting is being installed in the sanctuary and we prepare for the painters to come in a transform our worship space. Get ready, people – this is going to Rock your world!
- That’s all for now – Make it a great week, everyone!
It was soooo good to see you, baby bump, and little man (way cute pic.!) today also! He was crying, “I want my mommy!!!” as I was picking Olivia up out of the nursery. 🙂 Wow, how he has grown in just a short time. I think they sneak “miracle grow for kids” at night when we think they’re sleeping….LOL.
Words can’t describe how glad we are to be back…. and for good this time. (long story) 🙂
I walked through the doors this morning and just knew, this is it. No more looking back. This is where we belong. We can finally move forward and have peace when we stop looking back.
So anyway, yeah, we’re really excited about what’s to come at The Rock and feel so beyond privileged that we can be a part of what God is doing in the church and in the city.
Anthony’s says hi! He’ll be there next week unless something unexpected comes up with work.
See you all soon!!
Reagan is cute beyond words!
Thanks for the chocolate cake-loved it!
Thanks for leading such an awesome worship team.
Can’t wait to see the new stage stuff…!
