LAST SUNDAY/ THIS SUNDAY

Last Sunday we got to experience the wonderful thing that is portable church! We were in a different room than we had been in for the first two weeks, and there were many events going on in all areas of the facility. There was a boat show in the exhibit hall space, a horse show in the Coliseum, and a 1100 person AME conference in the ballrooms. We were in the PAC which holds 2300 seats. That is 100 less than the Anderson campus. The building is beautiful and I would be lying if I didn't tell you that I prayed for 1000 people to show up for each service. 1000 people didn't show up, but that's o.k. We used this past weekend as an opportunity to see what could be! Eleven years ago no one sitting at Anderson University thought that a room that seats 2400 would be needed for three services either. This past weekend we asked the question how do you get to where you need that many seats? We then looked to our core values. I believe if we, the church, buy into and set our lives around those values we will need the Coliseum (Which seats around 14,000) not just the PAC to hold everyone!!

This Sunday we are back in Ballroom A and in our normal KidSpring rooms. We are also having our first baptism celebration. It is going to be an incredible day. Someone I invited a few weeks back emailed me and told me they were coming this Sunday. I also prayed last week during the welcome that God would set up divine appointments for us to live out our FOUND PEOPLE FIND PEOPLE value. I've had people tell me that that prayer has been answered. Who are you bringing? Who did you invite this week?

I cannot believe we have only been a church in Charleston for three weeks! God has done so much already! I am so grateful for the people God has assembled at NewSpring Charleston to reach and make the Holy City holy! THE BEST IS YET TO COME!

CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY
