Weekend Update

1. This was weekend number 2 with four kids, and I'm loving it! Kids are such a blessing!

2. We went on a family date on Friday. This was baby Case's first family date. The kids thought it was cool.

3. I began a new series yesterday called The Perfect Storm.

4. This series is designed to help people get through the financial storms that are happening in our society today. Think about the storms happening at the same time: gas prices are high, the housing market is unstable, the stock market is not performing well, food prices are on the rise and people are freaking out. What we are experiencing is what I have called The Perfect Storm! Please don't miss the next two Sundays. This teaching will help you navigate the financial storms of life.

5. I'm super pumped, and our church is super pumped about Ignite, the new college & 20 somethings experience beginning on August 24 @ 6PM.

6. My wife looks super hot after just having our fourth baby. She bounces back so quickly. What a trooper!

7. If you want to help us launch Ignite, be at our planning meeting on August 17 at People's Church @ 6PM.

8. Tons of people gave their hearts to Christ yesterday. LOVE IT!

9. Our worship team led us in the song ‘Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus yesterday. I loved it! Our worship team can take an old hymn and make it sound so good!

10. Our new 42,000 square facility is moving right along. The construction crew was working on Saturday.

11. Have I mentioned that we needed more space yesterday? It's CRAZY that a church of our size only has 17,500 square foot. People who say that a church can't grow without tons of space don't know what they're talking about.

12. Although a lack of space can and will cap your growth, if you get creative you can still grow. Beginning August 24, we will have 5 Sunday experiences. The first four experiences only have 15 minutes in between the experiences. That's called getting creative and maximizing what God has already given us. You have to do what you have to do with what you have to do it with :)!!

12. Have a super Monday!
