Weekly Rundown (8.10.08)

• Great to have everyone starting to get back into the swing of church ... attendance at both campuses was strong as we continued our DOMINO series.


• This Friday afternoon I had nothing "scheduled" so I just spent some time with God in prayer.  It was rich with conviction and vision.  Let's just say my clarity and passion for this church and its direction are at an all-time high!!


• We kick-off our student ministry fall line-up this week at both campuses!!!


• I absolutely love the Olympics!  The men's 4 x 100m freestyle relay was the most unbelievable finish I've ever seen (check it out here) ... GO USA!!!


• Beth wants to go to China :)


• Went to downtown Chattanooga last night ... that is one of our favorite places to go, eat, walk around, and enjoy the beautiful Tennessee River scenery.


• Our volunteers rock!!


• Heard some amazing facts and figures on the multi-site movement going on across America (how much it costs to launch a site, average attendance, etc.) ... what is happening at Rock Bridge Calhoun is simply amazing!!  (Most sites are in major metro areas, average 350-400 people, and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to launch!)


• The launch of Stage 123 is coming real soon ... Jeremy Owens will be our worship leader over there and we're so excited about opening that venue!!  Please pray for Jeremy, for our Student Ministry, for Sunday worship services and for all God wants to do according to His plans and at His pace!!
