Amazing things last week!

See you after the Pole... (pictures here)
Can you believe that we had over 500 students and adults worshiping together last weekend. It was amazing. God started something cool. I can't wait to see what he does with this generation of students in this community! Thanks for being there last week. I know we didn't have an official role for you, but it was great having you there to help watch and oversee students. I hope you were as blessed as I was, watching these students connect with God.

Small(?) Groups: We are going to try and get GROUPS launched this week. Notice I didn't say SMALL groups. It's looking like we are going to have some pretty large groups until we can get some more leaders. (ask everyone you know!) I am especially fearful of what this week will look like after the success of last weeks "See you AFTER the Pole" worship celebration. But I know that God is going to surprise us with more leaders...I just have this feeling that it's going to be over time and not this week. We are still hopeful that we will have your list of students to you before Sunday. Please pray for that whole process. We are back on our regular schedule this week. Please plan on being there for our meeting at 6:30.

With all that said, "How are you doing?" What I mean is, how is your heart doing? As we gear up to launch small(?) groups this week...I want to make sure you understand something. We care more about your heart and your relationship with God than anything else. As we have been exploring this podcast (spiritual disciplines) principal, I have had an amazing time connecting with God. My "heart condition" is probably better than it has been in the last several years. Why? Because I have made time to look for God, and he is keeping up his end of the bargain. (Jer. 29:12-14) I can't say that about every season of my life. I have had some really long stretches where I made no time to connect with Him. I thank God for giving me the desire to connect with Him lately. I hope that you are finding this season of your life rich with the love of your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. If not, let us know how we can help. See you on Sunday!
