sunday review

It was an awesome day as we celebrated Mother's day at Foothills Community Church.

** I loved the energy yesterday morning. Normally when it's rainy and gloomy, people have a tendency to be pretty mellow.  Not yesterday! The parking lot was even buzzing thanks to the greeting team that had the Mom Mobile (golf carts running, and the umbrella team helping people stay dry)

** We had 22 people that gave their lives to Jesus at our Seneca campus. Also, we had hundreds raise their hands and repent of not reading their Bibles with passion and zeal, and committing to dive into God's Word with a renewed awe!

** We had tons of parents dedicate their children to the Lord. In our 11:15am service there was literally not enough room across the stage for everyone! I love all of the young families the Lord is sending to Foothills Community Church.

** We also gave gifts to every single parent/ grandparent that was trying to raise their child by themselves.  I applaud these people because they are working hard to provide for their families in a single income household.

** Our Toccoa campus had a phenomenal day as well. Several spiritual decisions and lots of parent/child dedications.

** My wife spent lots of time in the concourse promoting our Son Sports. She was the pretty lady that was wearing the football shoulder pads, cheerleader pom-poms and dribbling a basketball. In case you're not familiar with Son Sports, it's Foothills version of Vacation Bible School, but we add the element of a sports theme. (For kids that aren't into sports we have arts and crafts as well) They meet in the Venue auditorium for a time of music, skits, games and a Biblical message, and then they head out to their sport of choice. It is a blast.  You can sign-up your child here.

** With summer almost upon us, have you considered using our online giving option? This is a good way to stay consistent in your financial support of the ministry of Foothills Community Church even when you're out of town. It only takes a couple of minutes to sign-up. It's safe, secure and convenient.
