Our Church Plant is Exploding!!

Whoohoo!! Just recovering from this Sunday! Was an awesome turn out!!

I think it’s fair to say that about 11 months from our official launch, last week’s attendance was maybe x3 or x4 from this time last year! Loads of transients are turning up  as they pass through the town, and the number of core families are growing. It blows my mind to see new families, young and old, moving from their hometowns around BC, leaving their lives and communities to join us! Feel so privileged. It’s so exciting to see what God is doing and who he’s bringing.

Am busy helping prepare for our new Fall Launch, which would mark our year anniversary of our church plant, kinda… All our Small Group Communities and Ministries will be relaunching, along with an awesome Youth Group, Sunday School, our Discipleship Outreach program and many more goodies.

Unity and Worship

Another really fun thing which I get to be a part of is just helping fill in for our worship team who are on tour with their band at the moment. I’m not naturally inclined musically, but when I get a chance, I love being a part of the band. I’m a complete novice, and can just about do a pass job with the bass, but I love, love, love it when I get a chance to play with other people, in spite of all the little mistakes I made…. Now I know music is not my talent, nor calling, and I need to be very intentional on how I spend my time and gifting, but when I get a chance, playing bass in worship is fun!!

One thing which blows my mind is how awesome it is to be able to able to make a sound with an object in such a way that when in unity and timing, melodies, harmony, and rhythm come together in this crescendo of loads of other sounds that meld in to one glorious tune. It’s a reminder for me on how we, as a church body, should be, harmonious and in unity, our hearts all pointed to Christ in glorious song and praise. Worship is awesome!!

Prayer Request:

• Our lead Pastor and his family are taking a much needed vacation for the next two Sundays. Please pray for a blessing of their time for refreshment and rest. Pray for our speakers for the next two Sundays.
• Our core worship team have served us solidly the last 10 months or so, and they’re now off on tour around BC with their band from their hometown. In the mean time some other members from our church are stepping up and are helping to fill in. Please pray for their safety, praise God for the people who have joined us from other churches to support us, and pray for our core team who will be leading us in worship for the next two weeks.
