Wow, What a Day!!!
Today was a great day!!! There were 300 people at church this morning squeezed into a facility that we thought would only hold about 230 or so. Over the past two months we’ve been working hard to make the facility a great place for people to connect with God and each other. All this time we’ve been wondering how many people would show up when we opened the doors on January 10th. Church is like throwing a party and inviting everyone in the city to come. It’s just impossible to know what to plan for.
Fortunately we have the best staff and volunteers a church could hope for and they were able to roll with it all like we knew what we were doing. Children’s workers that were planning on attending the service willingly went out to help with the number of children that showed up. Looking forward we now know that we need to plan for more children and make arrangements for overflow parking.
I know some of the things we have planned for this series and it’s going to be amazing. Ecclesiastes is a powerful book with a message that speaks to everyone since it talks about the meaning of life. Invite a friend next week. We’ll find a way to accomidate everyone who shows up.
God is amazing, You are essential.

It was totally amazing. What a joy to be part of Essential. Thanks for all your hard work, Steve. It is exciting to see what happens next!
We are so happy for you guys and excited to see God’s Kingdom expanding through you. I’ve been praying for you the past couple of weeks and we spent the beginning of our church service this week praising God for all He is doing through you as you prepared for your opening day in the new church.
Thank you all again for the pulpit.
Paul,
No problem man. I’m looking forward to hearing about all the things God does through your new church as well. Thank you for your prayers and your partnership in ministry.
Karen,
You are Essential!!!!
