LAST SUNDAY was simply,"WOW!!"
At all campuses we saw an incredible work done by the Holy Spirit. By the end of the day we saw 490 people come forward to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior! In Charleston we had 20 people come forward and 1 person get saved Sunday afternoon at Ownership class. That brings us to almost 150 decisions for Christ in our first seven months. That blows my mind! Thank you to everyone who stepped up and invited someone to church on Sunday. If the person you invited didn't come, DON'T GIVE UP! God never gave up on you!
THIS SUNDAY let's do the same thing we did last Sunday. My prayer is that what we saw last Sunday would never get old to us, but at the same time it would be "normal" for us to invite like we did last week!
Load-in is happening at 4am and we would love to have you join us. If you have time after the 11:15 service, please hang around for load-out.
This Sunday we are in Ballroom A & B! I look forward to the day where we need ALL three Ballrooms. We are making the "Holy City" truly holy one Sunday and life at a time!
CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!

Serve One / Attend One
We have seen so much happen in the short 7 months we have been a NewSpring Campus. Over the past seven months many things have changed and gotten better. As Owners have bought into the value that SAVED PEOPLE SERVE PEOPLE, we have been able to see and do things we couldn't in our first few months. For that, I am so grateful!!!
Since there is always room for improvement, we are going to intentionally make a shift on our campus. In order to be able to serve the people attending our campus better as well as improve the spiritual health of those serving, I would like for our volunteers to begin to "SEVER ONE/ATTEND ONE"! For one service we are there to corporately worship and ask God to speak to us personally. For the other, our mindset is all about serving. I want you to buy into the core value that SAVED PEOPLE SERVE PEOPLE and we will have an opportunity for you to serve with whatever time you have available. However, a majority of our volunteers will have to SERVE ONE/ATTEND ONE in order to accommodate for our continued growth. By committing to this on Sunday mornings, it will help you to get the full experience of our worship service. It will also allow people who are attending the service to get the full experience of being served instead of having the majority of our volunteers already in the service.
Please begin to let us know if you are available to SERVE ONE/ATTEND ONE as soon as possible. This is going to help us in refining our Guest Services and in fully carrying out those volunteer responsibilities. I am excited for the community that this will create in our volunteer teams as well.

LAST SUNDAY/ THIS SUNDAY
LAST SUNDAY we looked at the Church in Ephesus. We learned 3 things we need to value from the letter to that church. The thing I believe God was saying to me was to be more obsessed with REPENTANCE and not REPUTATION! That's HUGE! I hope you were there, and I hope that you showed up expecting to hear from God.
Sunday was a BIG day in the attendance category for us. We broke our launch Sunday attendance with 612 people. I celebrate that because each number represents a soul with eternity at stake!! However, God is not just GREAT and AMAZING because we had 612 people. He was GREAT and AMAZING before last Sunday and will continue to be so, no matter what. He is GREAT and AMAZING for just who He is and not only what He does! I don't know about you, but I've learned the hard way to remember that!!
THIS SUNDAY is going to be our BEST one yet! I'm not just saying that; I am believing that and I need you you to believe and pray that also. We have been praying and asking God who we need to invite and for Him to do what He wants to do this weekend. I am asking that we see 800 people show up to our Campus and that He would bring 80 people from death to life! That will not happen if we are not inviting people we know who need to know Jesus. I am praying specifically for my neighbors to come this weekend. We have invited them to church before, but we are not giving up. I am also praying for Sue who waited on me at a restaurant earlier this week. I invited her and I'm praying that she makes it.
There is still time. Who are you inviting?
We are meeting in Ballroom B and part of Ballroom C. Load-in will be at 4am. You should join us! We really do have a great time and for the last few weeks we've been done by 5:30am. So, you could still get home and catch a nap before church starts. If you can't come early, hang around after the 11:15 service to help load-out!
Ownership Class is also this Sunday at 2:30pm at the office. (2093 Executive Hall Road, Charleston, SC 29407.) If you want to know more about the church or are interested in joining, Ownership Class is where that can happen. See you there!

WHO ARE YOU BRINGING WITH YOU SUNDAY?
One of our CORE values in Found People Find People! This Sunday August 21st we are asking you to do just that. We are going to present the Gospel and ask them to respond. I am praying that 80 people in Charleston will crossover from death to life! I am also in prayer, asking God each day to show me who I need to invite. Last year leading up to this same Sunday emphasis we did an Evangelism Seminar. We were not a campus at that point so many of you might know this is available to you. You might also have thoughts that it's just to hard to live out this CORE value and I know this will help with those thoughts as well.
CHECK IT OUT AND GET TO WORK!
CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!

LAST SUNDAY/ THIS SUNDAY
LAST SUNDAY was, from a numeric standpoint, our biggest to date in almost ever statistical category. We had our largest non-launch non-holiday attendance, largest number of volunteers, and largest number of kids in KidSpring!
All week I've been praying and thinking that if that's what we saw on August 7th, then I can't wait for the 21st. Don't forget to continue praying for people to invite. Yesterday I was on the phone with a guy in our church whose son passed away this week. We were reflecting on his son's memorial service and he said, "I've been able to invite a bunch of people for the 21st!" I pray that you are viewing your circumstances in the same light, as an opportunity to bring people closer to Jesus!
THIS SUNDAY we are continuing the series we started last week call REVELATION! If you missed last week you will want to go to www.newspring.cc and check it out.
We are in the Ballroom this week and KidSpring will be upstairs.
Don't forget Fuse starts this Wednesday! I'll post more info on this in the next couple of days. I am so excited for this Wednesday!
CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!

LAST SUNDAY/ THIS SUNDAY
LAST SUNDAY was, in my opinion, the BEST service we have had at NewSpring Charleston. It was so great seeing the excitement in all the students and volunteers who went to the Gauntlet. Last Sunday sure didn't look like a church that doesn't have a youth group yet!
Speaking of that, we will be starting FUSE in Charleston August 17th at the NewSpring Charleston office. Stay tuned for a post specifically giving details and information about FUSE.
THIS SUNDAY we are starting a new series called REVELATION. I am so looking forward to diving into this book of the Bible and seeing what God has to say to each of us individually and collectively as a church body.
We will be in the PAC this Sunday for the worship service and KidSpring will be upstairs. We will be loading in at 4am.
Continue to be praying for the services on August 21st and who you need to invite. I am so PUMPED about how we will be doing the invitation on that Sunday!
Also, we have our next Ownership Class on the 21st at 2:30pm. We had 27 people join this past Thursday and already have close to 30 signed up for the 21st. God is laying the foundation for the Fall! GET READY, NEWSPRING CHARLESTON!!
CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!!
