What a great weekend!

I think the services this past weekend represent who we are.  God is a God of first and second chances.  It was great to see those come forward who got a grasp on that.  Find Jesus.  Find life.  And that was only the first part of my thrill.  It was exciting to see how many of you came forward to pray for those who sought prayer.  At the 10:30 service alone 45 people were prepared to pray for others.  I don’t think I ever remember a weekend where so many were prepared to pray for other people.

Yeah.  That’s who we are.

And remember, we have designated the section in the sanctuary over by the stairs as the prayer mat.  After every service from now on you can pray and be prayed for there where the prayer banners will be stationed.

Actually, this weekend I was not there for every service.  I left to join Living Hope Alliance Church in Trenton for their service.  I had not visited them since they moved into their new building.  This is a building that the city donated to them free of charge for the good will they have brought to Trenton.  Amazing.  God does the incredible.  They have a building, a parking lot, and a yard that is large enough for two soccer fields.  Pretty cool.

And this weekend is baptism.  Come prepared to rejoice.  Come prepared to here how Jesus is relevant today.  And some of you should come prepared to get wet.  Just wait and you’ll see what I mean.

Whew!  See you this weekend.
