summer time

Can't believe it's summer. But at Foothills Community Church things are in full swing. One thing for sure, things never get boring around here.

* This past Sunday was incredible. From the time you entered until the time you left, the experience was phenomenal.

* Having Brian Rhodes in the kiddie pool as you entered the concourse got some strange looks (and a whole lot of smiles) He was promoting our Baptism party. If you haven't been dunked", this is your opportunity!

* Some of the guest services team put 150lbs. of ice into the pool between services (which would explain Brian's grimace :-) )

* I LOVED the music. Having the choir up there always adds so much.

* The Rascall Flatts tune to kick things off was awesome!

* The Urban Legends series continued wit the legend, God's Will Is The Safest Place To Be. Sounds true enough, but what the Bible teaches is that the will of God is not the safest place to be, but it's the BEST place to be.

* This week the Urban Legend is Faith Fixes Everything. You definitely do not want to miss!

* SonSports began yesterday afternoon. We have been doing SonSports for several years, but I think this year is going to be the best ever. Thanks to the 100 volunteers that are serving this week, and a special thank you to my amazing wife, Liz, who has spent probably hundreds of hours organizing it.

* I'm praying that many of the kids will begin a relationship with Jesus!

* By the way, it's not too late to have your kids participate. Just get them here this afternoon!

* As I mentioned earlier, this Sunday at 4:30pm at Biggerstaff Retreat Center on Lake Keowee, we will have our next baptism party. It is going to be a blast. Bring enough food for your family + 1, your friends and a lawn chair. Come and support those who will be stepping up and proclaiming their faith in Christ through baptism!

* If you would like to be baptized, show up ready to get dunked!

* On Father's day (June 17th) we are going to be giving way some fantastic prizes. Both campuses will be doing the give-aways. To qualify for the prizes you must be a guy (18 years or older). These are some serious big-time prizes, so bring your Dad's. Who knows he may walk away with a killer prize.

* We are exploring a couple of extremely exciting opportunities. I can't go into much detail just yet, but I can tell you this much, if the Lord opens the door, it will be the most amazing thing FCC has ever done!!
