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!

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!!!
