Sunday Recap 7.12.09
Having a hard time getting the recap up on Sunday afternoon these days. Too much happening to be in front of the computer this summer. It’s more fun than I deserve. What a great day today. 4th of July weekend made me wonder if we were gonna have to close the doors (kidding!) but everybody was back today.
- Made the big announcement that we are going to be adding a 2nd service on August 9! Beginning on that day, we’ll offer identical worship and kids programming at 9:30 and 11:00 a.m.
- Why? Because God is moving in our church! It’s nothing special we’ve done and nothing we can manufacture. He has simply chosen to bless us with more people, and we must make space for them to meet Him on Sunday mornings.
- So, we’re asking everybody who calls Arrowhead home to GIVE AND RECEIVE. We want you to receive ministry by being a regular part of a service each week. And we’re asking you to give by volunteering in a ministry role during the other service or before/after the one you’re worshiping in. It will take twice the volunteer force to make Sundays happen. But, it’s worth it. The changed lives we are experiencing make all the hard work joyful.
- To find out more and give us your input, take this survey.
- People are already beginning to step up into new volunteer roles. That’s really cool to see.
- Today was week 2 in our series called Prayer. Talked about praying for the glory of Jesus to be seen. That was the beginning of Jesus’ prayer in John 17:1-5, and it should be the beginning of our prayer lives as well. It was definitely a difficult topic, but I fully believe God is more concerned with making us like Jesus than He is making our lives easy. Sometimes that requires prayers that are answered yes and sometimes no.
- It was so great having the full band back on stage today. Incredible worship set. That sound and vibe is much more in line with who we really are as a church. The acoustic feel is great for a change, but after 2 weeks of it I think we were all ready for yesterday’s worship.
- I love meeting new people each week! Our area is full of people who are broken down from life and church. I pray we’ll be a place God can rebuild!
Have a great week!
