Celebration Service

What a great evening! Wendy and I, will the help and support of our church family, support family, and members of the office held our very first combined service for our 3 church plant areas. The objective was to celebrate with them in their new way of living, help them to know all the folks in their district and give certificates to the seventeen people who completed a series of lessons about Christian basics. Wendy prepared two slideshows, one that dated back to Love Extreme – which initiated our ministry, and one that contains photos and videos from our impacts and cell groups. It was really cool to see all that has occurred over the past year. We had band for worship for the first time in a long time at the church, a saxophone special, a drama, and I preached for the first time in my life…in Spanish. I've spoken in front of hundreds of people, shared my testimony several times, given devotionals to small groups, but this was the first time that I preached and it was probably in front of 50 people or so. After the service we had sandwiches and snacks, watched one of the slideshows and mingled. It was such a great night. Here are photos from the service. Thanks to everyone who helped out!
