God is good!
New Church had it's official grand opening last Sunday and we experienced our largest gathering yet! 70 people celebrated God's goodness and grace as our first service drew many new faces as well as many supporters.
Just as our initial message spoke of how to avoid spending life in the pit of despair and betrayal, I am forced to ask "What's next?" The opening of a "New Church" is a grand thing, but there are lots of churches within a 30 mile radius so what is next?
I could pontificate and let you know my hearts feelings and what I would call a church success, but you get plenty of that! So, I am asking those who attend and support New Church to respond and let me know what a church should be and I will post it in our next update along with my comments.
Keep visiting the website. Kent does a great job updating with photos and informing everyone on what is going on around the ministry. www.newchurch4u.com
Prayer:
-That opening Sunday is not the only Sunday we see new faces.
-We are still looking and waiting for God to provide some musical help. Using videos and Cd's is great and God has provided in that way, but it would be great to have some live production and some music leaders.
-Scott is asking for prayer for his schedule. Balancing the entire scope of life right now leaves him feeling like nothing is getting done with excellence but a lot is getting done o.k.
-God 's protection on families. This goes beyond just those "traditional" families. However the family is made up Satan thrives on chaos and conflict. God may use the chaos to draw people back to him, but it can also throw people into a "pit" as well.
-We have a few people we are trying to help with aid and we are asking God to help multiply our efforts.
Don't forget to praise God!
-Great launch
-Lot's of people have given and sacrificed to see God move in New Church
-Everyone chipped in Sunday and served our guest
-The provision of some technical wants to help our services be smoother
-New local guests
-Praise God for those supporters who were able to come to our first service.
-We have a couple of new Bible Studies in the works
-God has provided a place for the youth to meet in Atlanta
-God provided another computer for us (we had a screen problem with our laptop)
God is alive and on the move!
Don't be caught flat footed....follow!
Have a blessed Day!Scott Wolff
