• Strong day @ a2.
• This Sunday we caught the tail end of Spring Break with several of our main families taking in some much needed R & R time with family and friends. Attendance was still strong. Yeah, God!
• BTW, everybody needs to get out of town now and then… As a pastor I really appreciate and respect families that take what I’ll call “Sabbath time” seriously. You know I’m committed to corporate worship! Believe in it BIG TIME. But I also believe husbands, wives, dads, moms and kids need time TOGETHER. That’s why I don’t blow a gasket when Spring Break rolls around. We want to cheer families on in their journey of creating memories that last a lifetime
• Here’s today’s worship set:
Today Is the Day, Lincoln Brewster
Awesome God, Free Chapel
Stronger, Hillsong (I think we’ll be singing this for a while… Great song!)
Mighty To Save, Hillsong
• Great cover song. We Can Work It Out, The Beatles (Want to know why people believe McCartney and Lennon were one of the best songwriting teams ever? Check out this song. After more than 40 years, it’s still relevant, amazing and timeless. We did Bethany Dillon’s cover of this song… Same melody with an acoustic arrangement. Awesome.)
• Today’s message was important. We talked about conflict. Everybody experiences it. People with great relationships know how to handle it effectively. They understand the “conflict is part of the process we go through and price we pay for increased intimacy.” The SOS 5 gives us a great snapshot of how healthy families deal with conflict.
• BTW, here's the link to the song I mentioned in the message by Flight of the Conchords titled, It's Business Time. Warning: content of the song is for mature audiences only. We quoted some of the lyrics in this week's message to talk about the expectations that most husbands bring into the bedroom...
• I’ll post the notes from the message a little later.
• A few BIG NEED AREAS we need to strengthen. Children’s Ministry is crucial. I’m really praying about this area. We need volunteers and leaders who are passionate about discipling kids.
• Pumped about the community wide outreach this Saturday, March 28 @ 9:30. We’re going to be canvassing the area and inviting people to Easter @ a2. We’re praying for an incredible impact this Resurrection Day.
• New series kicks off on Easter Sunday. The Best News You’ve Heard is going to be a series of hope in the middle of a world reeling in hopelessness and despair… Can’t wait!
• Student Ministry Small Groups kick off @ a2 tonight. I’m really believing that this will help us create community in the lives of our students. Thankful for Darrell and Julie’s leadership in this area.
• Love what God is doing @ a2. Every week is an adventure. I’m having more “fun” in ministry than I’ve had in a long, long time… God is good. God is faithful. Life is an adventure. Can’t wait to see what God has in store next.
