Weekend Update and Sunday Recap
May 26th, 2008 Posted in Random Thoughts, Church at the GroveI had breakfast with a good friend Shannon Ramsey Saturday morning at Waffle House. You know its bad when you walk in Waffle House and they yell your name like “Norm!” from Cheers. “RUSS!” Shannon is scheduled to leave for Bangladesh with his family as soon as his house sells. He will travel their with his wife and two kids to do work with University Students in a large city. He is asking for prayer for his ministry and for his house to sell.
Sunday was incredible:
- Craig did an incredible job teaching on the story of David’s taking of the census. This was the third in our “NO REGRETS” series on snapshots of David’s life. Craig’s Big Idea centered around how the spirit of God assaults our heart when we willfully disobey his commands and direction. When we sin, do we simply say “sorry” in order to move on with life or do we genuinely allow the spirit to assault our heart in a way that we repent and redirect in a way to obey.
- Ric and the band again. I love how Ric is following the leading of the Holy Spirit in how he leads. WOW!
- Attendance was noticeably down but it was a great week!
- It was nice to NOT have to completely break down. It will be nice to leave things up mostly this summer.
- I am planning to revamp most of our strategic service teams during the summer for the fall.
- We have a lot to do to prepare for the fall.
- We have some great ministry planned for the students this summer.
- School is out and it changes our routines for the summer but it will be a great time to work on our systems for the fall!
