SUNDAY IN REVIEW 03.08.09

• Awesome weekend @ a2!

• Saturday’s workday was amazing! Great turn out! Tons of stuff accomplished. Thanks to everyone who turned out to lend a hand. Awesome job!

• We made significant progress on a2’s Student Ministry Room and hope to open the new space by March 29. Keep a look out.

• We’re continuing to make improvements on the new Children’s Ministry set. Once again, our goal is to have the set complete by March 29.

• Guest Services crew did an amazing job today creating a warm and welcoming environment. Thanks to the entire team.

• Today was our BEST CROWD yet! We had a total of 160 in attendance! That’s despite the fact that we lost an hour of sleep last night! Yeah, God!

• On top of that, due to last Sunday’s Snow Day, we walked into the weekend with a pretty big financial need. God’s extraordinary faithfulness came through BIG TIME. Yeah, God!!

• Worship today was out of sight. God has given us an amazing band! I mean, amazing! Today’s set included: You Lifted Me Out (Tomlin), Glorified (New Life Worship), Glory To God (Steve Fee).

• Nathan Holladay did a great job sharing the story of how he and Holly met. I love hearing the stories of the people God sends into our lives.

• Two great “item” numbers by the band. You Can’t Hurry Love by Phil Collins and Love Is Waiting by Brooke Fraser. I was pretty choked up after Caley finished singing the second one. Wow.

• We continued the series GOD LOVE SEX with a message on dating – before and after marriage. I think this is one of the most practical, life-related, down to earth messages on relationships we’ve ever shared. Check out the podcast by typing a2 Church into the Search Engine on iTunes.

• We’re continuing to meet brand new people @ a2! This is exciting.

• Yesterday, Deborah Wiggins, felt a leading to invite a customer she met at “Cotton Tails” to a2. She felt impressed to tell the lady that a2 is “a church for people who’ve given up on church.” The lady came. She has stage four cancer. Today she encountered God! Please continue to pray for her. Her name is Emma.

• I LOVE what God is doing @ a2. It feels like we are on the verge of something big – REALLY BIG. I can’t wait to see what God does NEXT.

• By the way, next Sunday will be the most “dangerous” message yet in the series GOD LOVE SEX. Want to know what’s in store? HINT: We’re borrowing the title of Salt-N-Pepa’s song, “Let’s Talk About Sex” for the message title. Next week we'll look at what the SOS says about this important topic. Don’t miss next week.
