Sunday was awesome…
It really was in Kannapolis. These are just a few of the reasons why I think things were so great:
· We had first time guest. This is so cool because people are looking for a place to attend church that is not the same as what they have been going to. Also, people are inviting others. To me there is no better way for someone to visit our church.
· I got to speak on something that is one of my biggest passions in life – marriage. If you read just a couple of my blogs you will realize this. God has showed up in a major way in my marriage and I want to tell everyone about it.
· We have Kannapolis people volunteering in areas that I would otherwise do or someone who is on loan from the Salisbury campus. Our goal is to have Kannapolis people taking up all the volunteering spots. We haven’t set a date for this but we need to so that we will push ourselves to raise up leaders and encourage members that live near Kannapolis to serve.
· We had a 3 piece band but it felt very full to me. The guys did an excellent job. Rick does an awesome job with the sound. Thanks Rick. The songs were great and the invitation time was very moving.
· In the span of a week we had two Kannapolis faithfuls in the hospital with not good news. Then we began to pray for them. One person came to church and played the bass a couple of days after having a heart cath. and the other came to church yesterday (that was Anita). Anita was told she would loose her job if she didn’t go back to work on Saturday and her doctor said she couldn’t go back to work until next year at least. Like I said not good news. After we prayed for her she saw a specialist and was told going back to work was fine as long as she didn’t over work. She went back to work Friday. Praise God. I gave her a big hug on Sunday when I saw her and she looked fabulous. I am so stoked that she is feeling better. BTW – she was diagnosed with MS a while back and needs your prayers regularly for her health and her family (husband, 2 beautiful little girls).
Let’s do it again next week.
