Feels good to be back in the old rhythm of a mid-week newsletter!
The mid-week newsletter gives me a chance to forecast things upcoming for Sunday as well as celebrate highlights from the past Sunday.
Speaking of which . . . we are off to a good start for 2012! The last two Sundays we have had over a 1,000 in attendance at both campuses. Not bad for January! That’s one thing I’ve noticed about this church—we are not fair-weather attenders! We come in all kinds of weather. I salute your commitment.
I do want to emphasize one thing—and not because anyone has said anything about it—but our focus on Children and their place and importance in the Kingdom is never meant to suggest that we don’t care about the other age levels in our church. When you are a church our size, we must specialize in caring ministry to every age! Maybe we can’t be ALL things to ALL people, but we must be—and this is our heartfelt commitment—the very best we can be for ALL people! We will never emphasize our children at the expense of our youth and adults. Every member of the Forever Family is important!
That’s one thing that I really like about our proposed plans for the future. A new Children’s Center will give us an incredible opportunity to remodel our existing educational space for our adults (who also need more room!), including a new and larger kitchen actually connected to the Fellowship Hall!
The YEAR OF THE CHILD, in truth, will be a year for us all! I hope you will not miss a single opportunity to participate in all that God is doing among us!
Yours for the Kingdom!
Pastor Stan
