Awesome 30th Birthday, Church in the Mall and a HURKEY!!
Yesterday our church, Life Community Church, had our first service in our brand new location inside of Independence Mall here in Wilmington, NC. Let me just tell you that I can’t find enough adjectives to tell you how Awesome, Amazing, Fun, Mind Blowing, Incredible, see I told you not enough adjectives to describe how good it was. We had somewhere around 420 adults and children come worship with us. What is so crazy is throughout June and July we were averaging somewhere around 230-250. So we almost doubled our average in the first week. Even in the midst of a huge group of people we still passionately chased after God in worship and our volunteers KILLED IT yesterday. They loved on children and served every person that walked through our doors. I love being a part of such a great group of Christ modeling servants who desire to see people grow in their walk with the Lord and come to know Jesus as their Savior.
Now if you read the title I did not mis-spell Turkey, I meant Hurkey. During our first song “You Deserve” I had promised our church that in my excitement I was going to do a Hurkey during the first service….Promise Kept. Right after the bridge during the instrumental break down I jumped maybe higher than I ever have right leg kicked out straight in front of me, left leg bent behind me and did a HURKEY!! It was awesome! The whole morning was so awesome to see people just pressing into God and singing out as loud as they good in worship to our Great God.
Now before all of this happened I celebrated my 30th birthday on Friday and the only thing I can say is I love being 30, and I love my wife. She got her mom and stepdad, her dad and stepmom, my mom and stepdad, my dad, my Nana, her gramps all to come together and put money towards me getting an LCD HDTV. She knows I have wanted one for 2 years now. So here is the link to see what I was able to get on sale at hhGregg. http://twitpic.com/cjp8w. Now remember I have a 4 year old an a 21 month old, hence what is on the TV.
As I sit here reflecting this morning on all we experienced yesterday I am just blown away by the provision and goodness of God. It has been an incredible weekend and just the beginning of all the awesome things God is going to do through our church here in Wilmington. Come join us in the Mall!!
