Blown Away

I am blown away about what the Lord did yesterday at Foothills Community Church. It was one of my favorite days in our history.

We kicked things off with some great services in the morning. I'm not sure of the exact number, but we had a lot of people respond to the invitation to begin a relationship with Christ, and then each of our campuses had baptisms.  It was the first time that all 3 of our campuses had baptisms on the same day. The total number of people baptized during the morning services was 24!

Then at 6:00pm all 3 of our campuses came together for a huge worship night. It was one of the greatest worship services that I have ever seen!

I am not kidding, the level of excellence that our worship, and tech teams brought was world class.
There was a sense of anticipation in the room even before the first song was sung. People came hungry for more of God's presence. We closed off the back sections of the auditorium and had everyone squeeze in together toward the front. It changed the dynamics in the entire room.  (I implored everyone to bring the same intensity to worship on Sunday mornings, and to sit near the front)

Another thing that was noticeable was the amazing Christmas decorating that had been done by so many people pitching in. Our volunteers are amazing. Hundreds of hours were spent to make that a reality. Thanks to Kelly Ross and her team for putting us in the holiday spirit.

This Sunday we will begin our new Christmas series called, Empty. Invite, invite, invite. People will come to church with you, if you ask.... especially during the Christmas season.

We have made it even easier to invite your friends. You can use our electronic E-vite or promote it on Facebook or Twitter. Just go to this link and click on which way you want to promote the new series.
