Hey Midcurrent,

One week ago, I concluded my email to you by saying how much I was looking forward to gathering together as a church to lift high the name of Jesus. Well gang, we certainly did gather together as a church this past Sunday!! Outside of holiday weekends, we welcomed more people through our front doors than ever before. The building was full of people, yes, but more significant is the fact that our entire staff agreed that every single space was full of God’s Spirit in a special way.

I am particularly glad for such a momentous morning because of the fact that more of us got to stand alongside the moms and dads who brought their kids forward for Child Dedication. We dedicated 10 kids over both services, and I could not be more excited for these families who are declaring their intention to raise their kids to know and follow Jesus. And I am so glad for a church family that commits their support to these kids and to the next generation as well.

Right now, we are invested in more kids and teenagers than ever before. And that might mean that Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights can get a little crazy. And that might also mean that budgets get stretched thin. But it also means that the future of our church and our community is bright. And that is something to celebrate and thank God for today.

This Sunday, we’re finishing our series Upon This Rock. If you’ve ever wondered what a life of discipleship is really all about, then make sure to join us for this last look at the life of Peter who was one of Jesus’ closest and most trusted disciples.
