It never ceases to amaze me what God is doing in the lives of people here at Foothills. I hear stories that just blow my mind---it's awesome!
For instance: Last night at Thrive (our Student worship experience) 11 teenagers were baptized (remember, a bunch of teens were baptized a couple of Sunday's ago too). God is shaking things up in our Student ministry, under the leadership of Brian Rhodes and Tim Wadsworth and all of the volunteers. Our total baptisms for Foothills for 2009 is now 189 people!
Another very noteworthy thing is that we have reached our goal of providing Christmas gifts to 250 children through our "Family Christmas" offering. I just want to thank all of you for your generosity. On Saturday we will throw a Christmas party for many of the families in our concourse when they pick up their gifts.
Don't forget to pick up your tickets for our Christmas Eve services. There are very few left (we have given out over 2,500 already!) If you have not gotten yours yet, you can pick them up at the Welcome Center. In case you're wondering the tickets are free.
We've been spending a lot of time in creative planning for our upcoming message series for 2010, and all I can say is, "I'm pumped about it!" I'll be doing a 2 week vision series called, We Are Foothills!, and then a series on marriage and family that is going to be unbelievable, followed by some other cool things.
Keep inviting your friends!
