Worship Services and Bible Study Classes Shake Up

I am so pleased with the way the worship services shook out this morning. We freed up so many seats in the 11:10am service and yet enough people remain in that service for there to be energy and a core group. The 10am service was full--ushers were looking for extra chairs and the 8:45am had many more people in it as well. The worship services this morning could not have been more in line with what we were hoping for.

There was great energy among the teenagers. Splitting out middle school and high school into different hours is definitely not ideal and is in no way a long term solution to our growth challenges, but the Lord confirmed strongly this temporary measure. There were so many middle schoolers there during their hour. At this rate, we will have to multiply some middle school classes later this Fall.

A big thank you to those whose families were really impacted by the worship service and bible study classes shake up. Some families were significantly impacted and their sacrifices have not gone unnoticed, most especially by our Lord Jesus. Your joy in paying a personal price for the advancement of the Gospel is an awesome thing.

Praise the Lord for how this morning turned out.
