A few updates on the 1-month new Community Worship Service:
1. First month has come and gone. Five services with total attendance of 175 and 20 first time visitors. That's an average of 35 people and 4 first time visitors per week. The goal was to average 25 in the first month. God is faithful go above our expectations. Word is spreading in ways we don't even imagine.
2. This past Sunday - 1/30/11 - there were 35 people in attendance with 10 first time visitors. What an awesome experience. The guest minister was on point sharing his life testimony of God's healing power in his life. He also exhorted from the Bible about prayer and hope to get a fresh start.
3. Lessons learned are:
- the 1 hour flies by...before you know it the service is over.
- simplicity of having just Worship (songs) and Word (sermon) is effective
- excellence is required at all times from everyone
- teams are necessary and crucial
4. Looking Ahead ...
- This coming month will focus on the theme: LEGACY OF LOVE. God loves people, people love God and people need to love people.
- A great community outreach will take place at the end of February ... the Winter VBS. Preparations are underway and registrations are coming in.
- Children's ministry is expanding with a new phase to reach kids ages 7 thru 12. That will launch this Sunday, February 6, 2011 from 10:30 am to 11:20 am.
God is definitely hearing the prayers that are being sent up to Him. He is sending down the answers in different ways. Moving ahead with great people and trusting in Him.
Enjoying This Ride,
Cecil
