*I am so proud of our ministry teams! Each one of you are MVP's in my book!! Every weekend it seems like you all keep stepping up your game! We had so many first time guests this weekend and our greeters were the extra eyes for me, helping me to make contact and welcome each one to our service!
*One of the best compliments we received was when one of the couple's visiting for the first time stated that they felt so welcomed and at home! Then they told me they were making Sunset Chapel their new church home!! Welcome Oscar and Anna!!
*So many of you actually took up the challenge I gave the previous weekend and you distributed an invite ticket to someone and asked them to be your guest at SC today! You are all so AWESOME for doing that!! Be sure to follow up on that invitation soon! People are more likely to visit a church from a personal invitation than by any other means of church marketing!
*I truly believe that our best and most productive days are still ahead of us!! 2011 IS OUR YEAR OF OPPORTUNITY AND GROWTH!!
*Today I shared the second message in our current series "Framing Your Destiny From God's Perspective"!! It really seemed like everyone was tracking with everything I was saying. I try my best each weekend to make God's message understandable to all who attend our worship experiences. We learned a little bit more about Joseph and the challenges he faced on his journey towards the destiny God had in mind for him. We were able to discover from the scriptures that THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD was with him. And wherever he was in his life, God's favor rested upon him because he was faithful to keep the Lord as his number one focus! This new series is turning out to be one of the most incredible one's we've done yet!
*I can't even describe to you how excited I am to be baptizing people next weekend in our service! If you haven't taken that NEXT STEP and followed Christ's example, then consider participating with us in this service next Sunday! I will post later some info to help you make that decision! Two people made commitments to ask Christ into their hearts and lives at the conclusion of today's service! That was so AWESOME!!
*Our day of ministry was highlighted by seeing dozen's and dozen's of people joining themselves to our brand new "Life Group's!" We conducted our first "Slice of Life Connection Night" at 6 PM and enjoyed a fantastic evening of getting to know one another better, laughing together and eating some delicious slices of pie! We gave everyone an opportunity to hear about some of the great ministries we have here at SC and described for them the current needs and how they could get plugged in! Afterwards we formed 10 "Life-Group's." I'm very excited to watch these groups develop relationships and share life together! LIVE YOUR LIFE ELEVATED and consider joining one of these current groups, or form your own. Contact the church office for more detail's about this new and exciting way to connect and grow! We still have many resources we can provide to those who want to start their own "Life-Group." The official kick off to our new "Life-Group" ministry will be the week of January 24-29.
*My eyes are getting heavy. Time for bed, have a great week!!
