Has It Already Been Six Months?

It is hard to believe but in just one short week we will have been functioning as a church for six months.  It is awesome to see what God has done since that first Bible Study in the doctor’s office waiting room the first Saturday night in November. 

We have seen God take us from a small group of about 25 to a church that is now averaging 70 in attendance for worship.  God has also blessed us with a lot of great things and stuff to help us with our presentation of the Gospel.  Our finances are hanging in there and are good. 

God has led us to hook up with Rob Rudd, our new Gather (Worship) Pastor.  We are so blessed and fortunate to be led in worship each weekend by Rob and the band. 

Celebration City and Shuugi Land are incredible.  Transformed Student Ministries is growing with new teens every week and our weekly SWAT Team Meetings and Bible Studies are such a blessing. 

Our set up and break down in the school is incredible.  You all do awesome each and every week.  It is such a joy and privilege to be leading this great new ministry.  I am so proud of each of you. 

I look forward to our official Grand Opening on September 7th.  Let’s continue to building the core launch team and reaching people for Christ.

In the midst of all these victories let’s remember, it is about making His name famous not ours!

Week 4 of the Home Repo was awesome.  The Living Room is simply the living out of our faith.  It is not just talking the talk but walking the walk.  Remember, in your times of trials and crisis, your faith will be tested and confirmed and your God will be revealed to the world.  I look forward to Week 5 as we look at The Master Bath on May 10th.  See you there.

Continue to pray and invite people to be added to the COC TEAM.  Have a great week and I’ll see you Saturday, May 3rd at Savannah Elementary School.  Set up starts at 2:30 p.m. and Worship begins at 5 p.m.

God bless and we love you all!

Sand Still Between My Toes

When you read the title, Sand Still Between My Toes, you are probably wondering what I am talking about.  Well, yesterday I had a great time at the COC church picnic at Rancho De La Roca in Aubrey. Everyone seems to just have a great time relaxing and spending time with each other and our children.  In the business of this fast paced world it is nice to just get away and enjoy life.  I like to recreate and yesterday was awesome. 

About 6 p.m. yesterday evening a lot of us ventured up to the Sand Volleyball pit and got involved in a mean game of volleyball.  We had a blast.  We have some great volleyball players at COC.  It was so cool to watch the teams work together to put that ball across the net.  It was also a lot of fun to watch our kiddos get involved as well. 

As we continued to play I couldn’t help but think about how great of a team we have.  Church planting is just like in volleyball in that it takes many to play and each person must know their roll and the area they are covering.  COC has a great team, not just in Sand Volleyball, but in church planting as well.  It is also cool to see God add to the team each and every worship service.  In the past six weeks we have seen 4 great families start attending COC and now they are becoming faithful members of this team.

God is up to something really cool…let’s continue to work as a team for His glory not ours!

Week 3 of the Home Repo was awesome.  It was difficult to clean out that Hall Closet but wow what a burden lifted when I let Jesus have all of that baggage that was weighing me down!  Thanks to the creative team and my wife for helping me make the sermon come alive.  I look forward to Week 4 as we look at The Living Room.  See you there.

Continue to pray and invite people to be added to the COC TEAM. Have a great week and I’ll see you Saturday, April 26th at Savannah Elementary School.  Set up starts at 2:30 p.m. and Worship begins at 5 p.m.

God bless and we love you all!
