We have been experiencing tremendous growth in the number of people who walk through these doors.  The Sunday services, particularly at 11am, have become so packed that we’ve had to break out extra chairs in the café!

Realizing the need to address this, we considered a number of alternatives: adding a Sunday evening service, an earlier service on Sunday mornings, or even a service on another weekday.  After much prayer and thought, we chose what we believe to be the best option, took a straw poll, and decided on our new service times:

• Saturdays — 6pm
• Sundays — 9am, 10:30am, 12pm

This weekend we begin the new schedule.  We trust that it will let even more people encounter Jesus firsthand.  In fact, I would be thrilled if we continued to grow beyond even these four services, and had to talk about our next set of options…

Now, we expect that 10:30am will continue to draw a crowd (just as 11am did), so we’re asking that you try the 9am or noon service for a few weeks to see whether it works for you.  And particularly this Easter, when we expect many visitors to join us at 10:30.

Speaking of, I am very excited about Easter this year!  It is one of the few times when we can talk about the foundational truth of our faith to so many, and afford everyone the very real chance to meet a very real Savior.  (Besides that, I just love to celebrate, which is exactly what we’ll be doing!)

Join us for Good Friday at 6pm or 7:30pm (both services are identical), and for our Easter services during one of the newly scheduled times.

See you then.
