Project Reach Reveal & Sunday review

Last Thursday evening we held the sneak peak of Project Reach. Here are a few of my thoughts:

* We had a great attendance for a Thursday night. Several hundred people showed up to hear about Project Reach

* It was an honor to have my friend pastor Toby Slough come and share with our staff and then our congregation about some of what god is doing at Cross Timbers Church. He knocked it out of the park!

* Our people are hungry to see the world reached for Christ, and to help people who are homeless, hungry, hurting, and feel hopeless.

* We will be starting a new message series called, Project Reach starting on Easter Sunday.

* We will also be having a series of informational dinners on May 5th, 12th and 19th. The tickets will be available on Easter Sunday. (Those people who came to the reveal on Thursday night got to pick their tickets up already). There are a limited number of seats available, so be ready to pick yours up.

Sunday review:

* Spoke on Colossians 3:22-25 about making Christ supreme in the work place. It was a challenging topic for many

* Lots of people have a huge disconnect between Sunday and Monday. They view Sunday as God's day, but then separate Monday-Friday as their work days. We can't compartmentalize our lives that way. Christ needs to be supreme over everything we do.

* 85% of American workers say that they could work harder. 50% say they could double their output at work. As Christ-followers we should be the hardest working employees at our jobs.

* Ultimately we work for God. "Whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus.." Col. 3:17a

* Our Toccoa campus welcomed Kevin Robison as their new worship leader!

* Easter is right around the corner. Who will you invite?
