Weekly Rundown (4.5.09)

• Wrapped up our Stimulus series today!  I pray everyone can discover that the "joy of the Lord is our strength"!!!


• Great job to our 'tech' team today for troubleshooting a problem before it became a big, disrupting problem!!


• We are making a lot of progress in small group development.  We have increased adult group participation dramatically in the last 8-10 months.  We've still got a ways to go but it is exciting to see more and more people experiencing community!!


• Shane Craven and the folks at Origin Church launch today in Ringgold!!  Pumped about more churches in NW Georgia seeking to help people connect to Christ!


• First Wednesday services continue to rock my world every month.


• We took our first ever staff pictures this week.  Check out the pics here.  (Some of) our staff ain't right :)


• Galatians 6:14 is really speaking to me right now.


• We're going to spend the next 2 weeks dealing fully with the resurrection and its effects on our lives.  Then we start a series called, In the Beginning.  We'll be in Genesis talking about creation, evolution, purpose, and answering the BIG questions of life: who am I? what am I here? what is wrong with the world? is there an ultimate purpose?


• Easter is next Sunday!!
