Day 1 The Launch
We lit the fuse! We jumped off the edge into the deep end
of the pool! We cut the safety net and began to walk across the tight rope!
We started!
Worship Team praying before service
It exceeded all
expectations. The people just kept on coming. By 11:00 the place was full.
And talk about a team effort! It was an all hands on deck
Sunday. The parking lot team was
amazing (complete with golf cart rides from your car to the front door!) The hospitality team had ushers and
greeters and made sure everybody had a nametag. The reception team had tents and tables and had organized
more desserts then we could ever imagine eating (I didn’t have any….just
fruit!) The front office had
organized all the bulletins and the carpools. And the worship team – well, let me just say it was the best I
have ever heard them….
“For greater things have yet to come …
And greater things
are still to be done in this City…”
Children's Moment
Heaven's Rain Dance Team
The GATE Youth Group was well represented
Gail Birch, "You'll Never Walk Alone"
Praise Team
Blessing of Rev Frederick and Pamela Sampson
Chancel Choir and Pamela Sampson
Pastor Frederick
fellowship outside after service
It was just the burst of
energy we needed to get the ball rolling and I am sure the memories of this
past Sunday will carry over the weeks and months to come.
Thanks for coming along
for this ride. We cannot do this without you!
If you would like to hear the sermon, you can listen to it here...
