It was an awesome day. God is so good. It started with the weather. It was 65 degrees yesterday and 70 today.
We prayed and prayed and God answered. We had some great stories of people far from God who are taking steps to Jesus. I love watching people get it
We talked about becoming 3C Christ Followers and 40 people signed up to join a small group and hundreds took Replenish bags for our food drive. I love this church!!!
The day went so well from setup to teardown. The service went great from music, to video, to powerpoint, to teaching, communion and offering. Tommy Bowman and the band were awesome. It was so fun to be in that space and tell people about Jesus
We had people who came from VA, CA, IA, MI, AR, and IL to serve and celebrate with us from MO and KS. Overall we had 420 people. 320 in the adult service and 100 in Kids' City and Jr High.
Here are some photos of the day...

Thanks for all your encouraging words. It was so much fun last Sunday...I think we will do it again...maybe every Sunday. Blessings.
