Saturday Night Thoughts
09/01/07 10:37 PM
- Tomorrow's message is going to rock! It's about
living life for a "Grander Vision." I'm really
excited about it. Baptism Video, Testimony - the
whole day is going to rock!
- This is Labor Day weekend, typically not a great attendance day at church. Will anybody even be in church to hear the message?
- South Carolina won. Georgia won. Clemson better win!
- Jeremiah, what happened to your Michigan Wolverines? In the "Big House" no less?!
- Christopher and I take off to Clemson tomorrow after church. We're very jacked! On the way, we're stopping off to go to church at Newspring in Anderson, SC. I think we're just as excited about that as we are about going to the game. Christopher wants to check out their Children's Ministry. He's been helping Janet on Sunday mornings in Children's Church. He's not just some flunky looking to get out of church. He loves kids and ministry. And Janet says he's doing a great job. I'm excited about taking him to Newspring to get a bigger vision for what the church can become. He already has a big vision for Coastal. This will just expand it! Jeremiah and Cyndi are going to Newspring as well and bringing some students.
- Speaking of Newspring, Jeremiah and I went to their Unleash Conference last year and our church has already paid for 10 registrations for this year's conference. If you are a Volunteer or Ministry Leader at Coastal, we want you to go! Mark it on your calendar now - Thursday, March 13, 2008. We'd love to buy more registrations and rent a van!
- Oh yeah, it's the first of the month and all my previous posts from last month are neatly archived on the left again. It trips me up every month.
- We had a new family, Bruce & Linda Evans, volunteer to clean the church for the month of September. They simply said that if they're a part of Coastal, they need to do their share. Is that awesome or what? They've only been at our church for less than a month!
- Wild Ride is going to be just that - a wild, exciting ride! Who will you be bringing? Their are several guys in my neighborhood that I'll be inviting.
- Next Sunday, to help kick-off "Wild Ride," an old friend of mine, local race car driver Raef Judd, from "back in the day" on James Island will be in church with his #9 Charleston FD Memorial Race Car. Raef Judd - is that a racing name or what? Raef Judd - Ricky Bobby. Ricky Bobby - Raef Judd. Before you get the wrong picture in your mind, let me say that he's a great guy with a wonderful family. I've enjoyed reconnecting with him. I'm excited about him coming to Coastal. He's going to bring some old friends of ours from High School.
- Other than "Just Walk Across the Room," I've been reading another great book - "Simple Church." More about that in a later post. It's been the inspiration for a new message series later this Fall.
- Well, that's about it for now. It's late and I want to go over my sermon before I go to bed.
