Hey there! I wanted to touch base with all of you before Sunday.  I want to encourage all of you to continue on with the 40 Day Spiritual Journey to a more Generous Life Campaign devotion book.   This past week has been great!  Do the worksheet and read the article for this week, I thought it was great.  Next week is our last week and I want us to finish strong to becoming more generous.

We had our monthly Ministry Vision Fellowship last Sunday evening and I shared with those in attendance some of the blessings that we have received since moving into our facilities.  The one that I think is most hidden from most of us is the fact that we have doubled our attendance since moving into our building.  We moved into our building with approximately 70 people and in no time we were filling up one service, so we went to two service times. We have been running a consistent 150 in total attendance.  The next goal is to fill up each service to 80% capacity.  I think we can do this but it will take all of us being dedicated and committed.  Will you commit to seeing our church grow?  I hope that you will.

Easter is just around the corner and I want all of you to begin inviting some guests to come with you to Easter Services.  Many people are willing to come to church if only they are invited.  Let us be the ones who invite them.

In closing I want to invite you to stay after church this Sunday for our youth sponsored lunch.  The youth are hosting these lunches to raise money to go to youth camp this summer.
