Hartwell Campus Pastor introduction

In case you weren't at Foothills Community Church this past Sunday (I wasn't there either. I was preaching at my friend, Jeff Cranston's Church) you missed this video introducing our new Hartwell campus Pastor, Austin Canen and his wife Emrie.

We are so happy to have them leading the Hartwell campus, and are looking forward to God using them in an incredible way!

A few quick things

I have not posted a blog in a couple of weeks, so I'll try to pick up where I left off.


* The last 2 Sundays have been awesome. The rain has been pouring, so it has affected attendance, but the people who have come are there because they want to be there, so their enthusiasm makes up for the lower attendance.

* I've always thought it was funny how on Sunday if it's raining, people can't get to church, but on Monday they can make it to work just fine.

* I am so thankful for all of the people who serve on our umbrella teams. They have been busy, but they make such a big difference!

* Last Sunday, David Odom, our Seneca worship leader was out of town but the worship didn't miss a beat. We have a great worship team.

* This Sunday at Foothills Community Church we will have parent/child dedications. Tons of kids signed-up!

* Our gospel of John series is my favorite ever. I mapped it all out and it looks like we will finish in early December. Which means we will have spent 11 months walking through this amazing book of the Bible.


* Son Sports is just around the corner.  (June 10th-13th from 6:30pm until 8:30pm.)  What is Son Sports?
Son Sports is kind of like a vacation Bible school on steroids. Kids from 4yrs.old thru 6th grade participate. It has a sports theme, but each day there is also music and Biblical teaching. Activities include arts and crafts, basketball, soccer, football, cheer leading and lots of other things. This year there will also be a magic show by Bam Magic. Every year athletes from Clemson University come and meet the kids too. Son Sports is a huge deal. If you have kids/ grand kids make sure to bring them. You can sign them up right now.
We also need volunteers. Lots of them.  Every year we have at least 100 volunteers help out. Let's shoot for 150 this year! Would you be willing to carve out some time to make a difference in a kid's life?
