Summary of Sunday, October 28, 2012

• Morning
• The person I invited came to service.  What a special moment watching God move in her life.
• Didn't you miss Craig & Natalie's leading worship?  There are those who have an anointing to lead worship.  Others like me do the best we can.  I'm glad I could give them a break.  Craig, you rock, man.
• Attendance, 84.  Among those 32 were 18 or younger.  That's 38%.  (Come on...is anyone excited?)
• Don preached from Mt. 24:14, "The End Will Come."  What should we do until the end comes? 
• Rehearse God's promises and believe them. 
• Work out the character expectations in Mt. 5:1-12. 
• Remain invested in missions, both locally and globally.
• Guests, 4.
• Nineteen people came to church because of the van runs.  Two van runs means some students and the driver miss part of Sunday School.  Keep praying for that second van!
• Darlene gave an inspiring presentation about Angel Tree.  Applications are available in the foyer.
• Evening
• It was good to have Craig leading worship. His style connects with the youth.
• Speaking of youth, 3 guests came last night.  Fantastic!
• Preached from Dan. 2:1-23, "Prayer Is for Mondays."  You can never say, "I've prayed enough."  We reviewed 7 motivations that will stir us to pray more.
• What a powerful prayer time to end the service!  Everyone went to the east wall and prayed over a piece of land we're going to need for parking.  (God already owns it, so why not?)
