I don't know about you, but it's not uncommon that when we are having friends over, my wife and I scramble to get the house cleaned up a bit before they arrive. We always want to put our best foot forward for the people we care about.
With that in mind, on Sunday we will have a lot of first time guests. Folks we have been praying for all week will be arriving, looking around... wondering what Thrive is all about. Let's show them! Let's show them love, care and concern. I hereby deputize you ALL asgreeters. Whether it's at child check in, at the cafe' or finding a seat in the auditorium, be a friend to the new family.
I do have a few specific requests that will make the 1st time guests visit even nicer. If you are dropping off children to Grow Kids back in the School's cafeteria, please use the newly opened auditorium entrance on the south side of the auditorium to come into the worship center. It really is a short cut! Also, please consider sitting in towards the center and not leaving a large gap of empty seats in the middle of a row. We will have a full house and leaving end seats available makes it easier for everyone to find a seat.
The message for Sunday is done- The concept is about redemption. It will focus on the mistakes of both Peter and Judas and how God deals with feelings of regret. I cried twice as I was developing the message just thinking about how God has redeemed me from my past. I believe there will be a mighty outpouring of God's healing in the hearts and souls of all who attend.
I will be praying at the office this Saturday @ 9:00. Feel free to join me and my son Christian as we continue to intercede over the names listed on the connect cards this past Sunday.
Living the Dream with you!
