* I am beyond excited about this Sunday at Foothills Community Church. We will be starting our next series in the Gospel of John called, The Gospel.
* This would be a phenomenal series to bring someone with you who doesn't know Jesus. Trust me, they will have an opportunity to meet Him.
* It's hard to believe that there are only 6 weeks until Easter.
* Speaking of Easter, you will not believe what we're planning!
* Coming up on April 21st we will be celebrating Foothills Community Church's 15th anniversary. It is going to be a party for sure. We are planning a huge worship night that evening along with the observance of the Lord's Supper and baptism. I'm pretty sure there will be a little nostalgia as well.
* I can't wait to share more details about FCC's 4th and newest campus. Here's what I can tell you. It will be in Habersham County, Georgia. We are shooting for the August/September time frame. There are still many logistical issues that need to be worked out before then, so please be in prayer.
* As most of you know, every January we pretty much purge our membership and ask people to re-sign their membership covenant. Unfortunately every year many people forget to send their covenants back into us . If you are one of the people who forgot, here is a link you can go to right now and do it electronically. This will probably take less than one minute. Quit procrastinating :)
* Don't forget about summer camps for your kids. We have 2 different opportunities this summer:
Kids Camp for 3rd-6th graders from July 30th-August 2nd at the Georgia Baptist Conference Center in Toccoa, GA.
Axis Summer camp for current 6th-12th graders from June 17th-21st in Myrtle Beach, SC.
* Parents, grandparents please arrange your summer schedules so that your students can be a part of these camps. It will have lasting impact in their lives. Deposits for these trips are due very soon.
* I got a chance to speak to our 6th-12thgraders a couple of weeks ago during Live, and I was so impressed with our teenagers. I'm also excited about Axis Summer camp because I am going to get a chance to be a part of it for a couple of days!
* So many cool things going on right now at FCC. I love being your Pastor!

some quick random thoughts
Here are a few quick, but random thoughts I have right now:
* I absolutely LOVE what the Lord is doing at Foothills Community Church! Life change every week. People hungry for God's Word. People showing up with expectation that God is going to do great things.
* The worship team did this new song yesterday that Kirsten led. Oh my goodness. It was awesome.
* I am very excited about FCC's 4th campus! That's right, I said #4. It looks like it's going to happen in the Fall of 2013. Stay tuned for details.
* I am really looking forward to this Sunday's message. We're going to talk about what makes Jesus mad. Should be interesting. You can get a head start by reading John 2:13-22.
* My wife is battling a case of chest congestion, and laryngitis. (I guess that's one of the risks of being a children's director.) I'm doing my best, to not catch whatever she has. I really hate to see my wife not feeling well. If you get a chance, pray for her.
* There is a huge surge of disciple-making going on at FCC right now. As most of you know, In 2013 I challenged our folks to not just settle for being disciples..... but become disciples that are making other disciples. It's really cool to see that taking shape. Within the next 10 weeks, we should have 100 people that are trained to disciple others. From there, I'm hoping we see it grow exponentially!!
* Did I mention that we will be adding a 4th campus in 2013? Oh yeah, I guess I did.
* I got a chance to connect with a bunch of people that are new to FCC in the concourse yesterday. I love that.
* Speaking of the concourse, after the first service the people hung out for a long time. It was like no one wanted to leave. That is very awesome.
* The staff at FCC is amazing. I wish every person could sit in on one of our Monday morning staff meetings. It's so encouraging hearing all the God-stories.
* I got a chance to speak at LIVE last Wednesday. It was a lot of fun to speak to teenagers. Best of all, all 3 of our campuses were there. I must say, I am so impressed with our young people, they have a heart for God.
* If you are a talented singer or musician, we are having worship auditions. Check it out.
* Enough ramblings for today. Have a great week. And don't forget to invite a friend to church next Sunday.
