Sunday Splash!

I was supposed to get this update written a whole lot sooner, but it's been just crazy! Since last Thursday I feel like I've been running at full speed non stop!! We experienced a very good weekend of ministry here at Sunset Chapel! Our volunteers worked so hard to pull off our All Church Thanksgiving Dinner! I love our world class volunteers here at SC!!! They did a superb job! Special shout out to both Frances Watkins and Russ Barbour as well as to the many behind the scene workers who assisted them in making this event very memorable!!

Our attendance has been creeping upwards again for the past four weeks! This is very encouraging. I'm sure that the Lord is pleased with seeing us move ahead and not standing still. It was amazing to see that we've had double digit guests in our services for the past two weekends! Getting the chance to mingle and get to know those who attend Sunset Chapel are always opportunities I enjoy! We were blessed to have our son Calvin home for the weekend too! So many of you came up to him and thanked him for singing with the worship team and for singing "Arms that Hold the Universe" written by the group "33 Miles".  It was the perfect song to end my message with! God really used to him to sing this song with a great anointing!

Many of you also came prepared to give "One Days Wages" to our "One Day to Feed the World" offering that was received prior to the conclusion of our service. If you forgot to bring your donation there is still time to get it in. Remember for every dollar we donate it gets multiplied by seven and helps to feed hungry people. You can still make a contribution by going to sunsetchapel.com and click on the giving icon and then follow the prompts. Be sure to mark your contribution for "Convoy of Hope". This is the organization that we are partnering with to help feed people in desperate situations throughout the world!

I wrapped up Sunday by conducting the wedding ceremony for Robert and Geoconda Gutierrez! It was an honor to participate in their ceremony! God continues to do incredible things for them and their entire family!
Our ministry team's focus has now shifted towards this Wednesday's "Candlelight/Communion Service! Set a pattern of thankfulness in your home that will last throughout the entire holiday season. I hope that you and your family will join us for this very unique and meaningful service.  We will be using real candles in the service and NOT an iphone app!! All of us have much to be thankful for in our lives. Come be encouraged as you listen to some of blessing our SC family have experienced in the past year!! Our service begins at 7 PM and all our ministries will be combined for this very special "God's family" gathering!!
