Help Needed!!

ATTENTION ALL WHO CALL ROCK BRIDGE "MY CHURCH"--

Our attendance is up by about 200+ people across all our venues and campuses in 2009 compared to just one month ago  (which is a good and a "God" thing)!!  More importantly, we have had some of the most powerful, God-filled services in our history ... and people are coming and bringing new people with them to connect to Christ and His community!!

Needless to say, this surge of growth has caused us to have some space challenges at our Dalton campus, in particular at the 11:00 service.  The need is greatest in our children's areas where we are slammed with kids (again a good thing and a "God" thing).  Well over 50% of our 2009 growth is happening at the 11:00 service (which is the most likely time for a guest to visit).  

Now, it's not yet time for us to add a 3rd service or a 3rd campus (I stress "not yet" because we will do whatever it takes to reach people disconnected from God).  We are building more space in Dalton but that won't be ready for about another 10-12 months.  So ...

Here's what YOU can do:

• STAY COMMITTED TO OUR VISION!!  The "cardboard testimonies" from Sunday says it all: lives are being changed as people connect to Christ!!  All of us must be committed that "it's not about us!" but it is all about Jesus and Jesus was all about "seeking and saving" those disconnected from Him!!


• COME TO THE 9:30 AM SERVICE (especially if you have k-5th grade children).  This would help our vision a lot as it frees up space for first time guests and newcomers.  Even coming to the 9:30 am service once or twice a month will help A LOT.

These are great challenges to have and I hope we always have them (even when our new building is finished) ... because these challenges mean people are coming to church and hearing about God's love for them.  One thing I LOVE about our church is how our members and attenders rise to the occasion and do whatever it takes to advance God's mission through Rock Bridge ... THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
