Things I'm Excited About This Fall

I'm Excited About...
  1. The next two weeks we will be doing several things to celebrate our 10th year anniversary in our worship center. When we built the facility we thought it was large enough for us to have one morning service for many years to come. But within 2 years we were bursting at the seams and had to return to a two service schedule. I'm really looking forward to celebrating God's provision and blessing these next two weeks. There's some video of our transition into the worship center 10 years ago that you've just got to see.
  2. This Sunday evening, September 13, 2009, we will have as a guest musician...David Musselman. David has been here before, but it's been several years since his last performance at LMBC. He is a pianist extraordinaire and will be providing special music Sunday morning in both services and performing a concert on Sunday evening.
  3. I can hardly wait for this semester of new Bible studies to begin Wednesday, September, 16th. We continue to have a record number of people in attendance for our small group Bible studies and this semester will be no different. People are connecting with God and with one another. If you're not signed up...you need to do so this Sunday.
  4. I'm so grateful for the incredible summer we have enjoyed in 2009. We have experienced the best summer attendance of any year in recent memory. We have seen more people come to Christ and had many who have been baptized/joined the church. Our last membership class was PACKED!! PTL
  5. Through the summer months we paid down approximately $225,000 of our principal on the Student Ministry Building. Only God could do that for us!!
These are some of the best days we have ever experienced. I hope you'll join me in the excitement and in giving thanks to God for HIS provision to us.
