This morning I stood before the wonderful people of Sunset Chapel for the first time as their new Lead Pastor. Swirling inside me were feelings of anticipation, excitement and nervousness. I quickly realised I was experiencing a new beginning in an amazing environment that I never dreamed or expected to be in. It all just seemed too good to be true. God was revealing to me in that moment that He wanted to use us in this wonderful place and that forever our lives would be changed. So we begin today taking what we have learned in twenty seven years of full-time ministry and begin to wholeheartedly live it out before you.
* Today was definitely a solid day at Sunset Chapel.
* Doug Flores and the worship team did an unbelievable job taking us into the presence of the Lord!
* I must mention how grateful I am to the "Upper Room" and their church staff for loaning us two outstanding musicians this weekend to help make our first service together totally amazing!
* Special thanks to "Junior" and "Will" for blessing us with their talents this morning!
* We had 135 in worship today! It was an incredible start to our new ministry at SC.
* It was so fun to speak to such awesome group of people who assembled together in our sanctuary!
* I am grateful to the church board for the tremendous reception they hosted after the service to welcome us to SC. It gave Shari and I the opportunity to interact with others and get to know them a little better. We we're very blessed! Thanks Francis, Tammy, Lorraine, Luis, Terry and Sterling!
* We are still getting positive feedback as a result of this mornings powerful communion service. It was phenomenal to see entire families and individuals all over the auditorium praying for each other! It was one of those God-moments that help to bring clarity and direction into our lives and to our whole church family!
* I hope everyone has a blessed week!
