sunday review

We had a very solid day at Foothills this past Sunday. I am loving the Be The Church series. It is so cool to see people "get it" when it comes to their responsibility to not just go to church, but to be the church.

* We focused on Acts 2:41-47 for the second week in a row. The thing that you see in the church back then is that everyone did whatever it took to meet the needs of one another. There were no spectators. Everyone was involved.

* It was sort of preaching to the choir, because we have such a high percentage of our congregation that are serving in some area of ministry. I know there were a many that had not served before that took a step to sign-up to begin serving!!

* Every time I share the story of the little kid that threw up in the salad bar, people want to know which restaurant it was. Trust me, you don't want to know.

* Our Toccoa campus was right at another record attendance. Love it!

* On Saturday we had 34 people show up at our new Hartwell, GA campus to paint the facility! What was really cool was that there were people from Seneca, Toccoa, and Hartwell serving side by side. They got completely through painting the lobby and worship center, and got quite a bit done on the kids area. So proud of all of you that sacrificed your Saturday to help.

* We will be working there Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday this week, so if you are available, call the church office for times and directions. (864)888-8008

*On Sunday evening we held our first-ever Get In The Game class at our Hartwell campus. It was a blast  to meet all the new people. They are super-excited and raring to go.

* This Sunday evening we will be doing training at the Hartwell campus for all areas of ministry in preparation for the first service there on September 23rd. Their official Grand Opening is set for October 14th.

* Our Toccoa campus baptized 6 more people Sunday!!!

* Our next baptism opportunity at Seneca will be on September 30th at Party in the Pasture. Be sure to sign-up ASAP, it's going to be awesome.
