Weekend Update

Okay, after a weekend like this, I couldn't pass up a chance to share the great stuff God is doing at LifePoint Church right now. Too fired up to sleep, so blogging commences:

• Loved the way the crowd responded to Matt Hein and company this weekend in worship! Lots of energetic singing to some juiced up Christmas carols. It can be a challenge to worship to some of the carols, but the arrangements and the spirit of the leaders and the crowd made it a spiritual moment each service!


• Great to hear the response to the picture of Sunny and Jaxon (and Gracie, of course), and to share the joy of that family's new addition, as well and let folks know she's going to be back in February.


• Yes, there was a Josh Uht sighting in our 10:45 service! He, his wife Johanna and his mom Mary were here for a quick visit. If you haven't heard, Josh is our new Worship Pastor, and he's going to be starting in January, so pray for them as they prep for their move here from California.


• Heard great updates about the 12 Ways Of Christmas, SO pumped to hear that we had OVER 400 ORNAMENTS come off the Legacy Tree and turn into presents for people all over our valley. Lots of folks are going to get a gift of love this Christmas, thanks to generous people at LifePoint!


• And the Great School Bakeoff was a hit! 17 schools worth of teachers received goodies and encouragment this week from generous Lifers. NICE!!


• Can't wait to hear the total for the caroling parties this week!


• Lining up for our 5 Christmas Eve services, we've got literally 100's of volunteers ready to share God's love at our services. Can't wait to see what happens there! (Who are YOU going to invite??)


• Hearing a lot of folks taking up the challenges of the these past few weekends to allow God to mess up OUR plans in order to get in on HIS plan which is ALWAYS BETTER!!


• Bonus! Hanging with my small group tonight, we were working on how we can jump in on some more of the 12 Ways Of Christmas and share some love. It's great to be in a group with committed Christ-followers who are willing to get involved!!

Okay, for a blog that wasn't going to fire up again until January - That Looks Fired UP!!!
