WE HAVE A TEMPORARY LOCATION!!!

First let me say how awesome fellowship in the park was yesterday. It amazes me how faithful the people of God have been. Thank you to all of you that have been supporting the church with your prayers, finances and presence at our fellowship in the park. For now this will be the last church service in the park as we have secured a temporary location. This coming Sunday we will have worship in the Hampton Inn Conference Center. We have secured that location for a month, but they will let us use it as long as necessary providing no other groups book the center. Our service will begin on time....10:30. The conference room will be open at 9:45 am for coffee and fellowship. So if you would like to come early for some chit-chat time....make necessary arrangements. Obviously, this is not idea but I thank God for any and every advancement. I need these people to meet at my house for an organizational meeting tomorrow at 7pm:
Amy
Justin
Jim (excused)
Lisa
Tony
DeWayne
Todd
Debbie
Please call me if you are not able to make it! Or post it on this blog!

FYI: It was school fall break, a three day weekend and we still had nearly 50 people at fellowship in the park. You all are awesome! Lets trust God for growth, direction and provision. I have had great feedback from all seven of the small groups yesterday. What a time of discipleship and developing relationships. I had to sneak a peak at the people walking by as we worshipped God together. People looked like they wanted to join us so bad! One of the things I love about our church is the multi-cultural feel. I look at our gathering and we have black, white, hispanic, mexican (oops that was Jeremy...inside joke), but you get the point. Wealthy and poor sitting side by side. Guys and gals we have shere potential...lets agree that we are not going to let this opportunity slip between our fingers. LET'S GO FOR IT!!!

Praise God! That's great you have the conference room at the Hampton Inn. One step at a time. God is blessing. Our prayers continue to be with y'all.
Love you Bro.

Tonights meeting was great! I am continually amazed at the leadership potential in our church. We all had good thoughts and ideas and I was really encouraged by everything that's going on. Seems like God has been setting up for just this time for years. Thanks Pastor Mike for your continuing perseverence! You could have gone anywhere and been a part of so much for so long but you are here, now, leading us. Thank you Laurie for standing by your husband and this body of believers! It's exciting that we got the nicest hotel in Enterprise for our services. I believe everthing is working together to progress as the vision we have had all these years for our church.
Pastor Mike, you said tonight you were STOKED! Good!! ROCK THE BOAT!! I think God will use your elated enthusiasim (sp?) to spread to others in leadership and in the church. It's a new day - Woo Woo!
