Grand Opening Week in the Rear View Mirror...

As they say, Grand Opening Week "Is History." I just can't let it slip into the past without first offering a prayer of thanks to Almighty God who once again blew our minds!

God, thank you for showing up and stirring the hearts and minds of thousands of people these last two weeks! Thank you for salvation for hundreds and fresh commitments to Your Son Jesus Christ! We are so grateful and humbled that you would move among us.

I am still in awe of the first Sunday, a dreary, cold, and rainy Sunday and close to 2,000 people streaming into newhope! Thank you for showing me once again that you are all-powerful and amazing and worthy of all respect and honor. I pray that this is only the tip of the iceberg. Pour out Your Spirit on us again this Sunday as we conclude the Wii Dream series and prepare for Holy Week! Lord God, take us higher and deeper as we trust You with our lives. Help us steward all of this well and may we be found trustworthy for You to continue sending Your people our way. We love you and look forward to Sunday, Your day, the "Lord's Day." In Jesus' name, amen.
