what a day!

Today was an amazing day at Foothills! Here are a few of the highlights in case you missed it:

** 9:30 am service, Eric Peters and his team knocked it out of the park.

** We had a surprise visitor--- Pelvis Presley (Elvis long-lost cousin) Brian Rhodes our student Pastor, rocked the house singing You Aint Nothin But A Reindeer! (I hope I can dig up a video)

** Despite the cold, rainy, dreary weather, there was a ton of energy.

** Spoke about Joseph, and the 2 things that made him extraordinary

** at 11:15 am service David O and his crew did a phenomenal job. They especially nailed the Trans Siberian Orchestra number.

** Loved the Weekly World News headlines---especially the one about the Gamecocks!

** Tickets for the 4:00pm Christmas eve service are sold-out!

** There are only a few tickets left for the 6:00pm service! If you didn't get yours yet, I would recommend stopping by the church office during the week to get yours. Sunday may be too late.

** Our Toccoa campus held their first service in their new facility, and I heard that it went fantastic.

** So proud of Shannon Chiles, our campus Pastor who has led them from meeting in a living room to a gym to this new facility!

** Speaking of Shannon, after much prayer, he has decided to go back to his job as an electrical engineer in 2010. He will continue to be actively involved at the Toccoa campus as a volunteer. He will also lead a LIFE group and help with our Get In The Game series.

** Pastor Brian Marshall from our Seneca Campus will assume the position of Toccoa campus Pastor. Brian is a memeber of Foothills Senior manangement Team, and has been on staff for many years. He'll spend his time during the week at both campuses.

** Not sure how many more children we found sponsors for in our Family Christmas offering, but I'll let you know when I find out.

** It looks like we will be baptizing another 6 students during Thrive services on Wednesday!
