The first four-service weekend went extremely smoothly, and I want to thank all our regular attenders for helping with this transition.  I was concerned that the 10:30 service would be crowded, but in the end all three services were evenly attended and we topped the 2 000 mark for combined attendance at all four services (not including the children in Promised Land and Kids Klub Church).  Remember that we will now continue with the new weekend service times of 6pm on Saturday, and 9am, 10:30 and noon on Sundays.

During the next five weeks we will continue our new series, Awaken.  We will see how Scripture tells of lives that were changed when a connection was made with the risen Jesus.  And this weekend, you will actually hear more than one account…

This week I read that the Gospel of Luke speaks about the poor and our responsibility towards them an average of one in every seven verses.  Now, I haven’t counted the verses myself, but I will definitely be studying them further.  And if it is true, then it’s an issue we need to think much more about as a church.  If you want to join me in your own personal study to see what Scripture has to say about the poor, I’d welcome the chance to hear about your findings: send me email me at bloghannold@princetonalliance.org or just hit reply if you received this entry in your Inbox.

I’ll be enjoying time with my family next week.  I probably won’t post another entry for a little while, but you are always in my prayers.
