PRAY!!

I just want to ask as many of you as possible to PRAY like never before!! Some incredible God things are happening that are WAY beyond our control but are completely in His control. I believe even more incredible things are on the way that are beyond what I can imagine (Ephesians 3:20-21).

--This weekend is "iGod" or Youth Disciple Now. We believe we may have close to 200 students coming!! Spur 58 will be leading worship. I love the fact that from Day One Rock Bridge has been all about kids and students. We resource it big time and deservedly so!!

--We are under contract to buy the 9300 sq. foot furniture building across the street from the church!!!!

--We are entering a master plan phase to help us better use our facilities for our current ministries and future growth.
Right now our children's space is inadequate whether we grow or not (we plan to keep growing).
Right now our youth use everything from my office to sitting in chairs made for 1st graders.

--Next Sunday is VISION SUNDAY!!! I cannot wait to see all the new people that will come and discover Christ and re-discover His church. INVITE! INVITE! INVITE!

--We are sending out a direct mail piece to EVERY residential address in Whitfield County. Something like 33,000 people will get our "Up to Speed" mailer, inviting them to check out Rock Bridge. (We have only done one small mailer and very limited, small-scale advertising. I am excited to see the potential response.)

--Our search for a new Children's Minister is going well. Aaron is talking to some great people right now!! Please pray hard for this!!

--Next week we are taking around 30 people to NewSpring Church for their conference. I think this will take many of our ministry leaders and key volunteers up a notch in their excitement, vision, and passion for the local church.
