So today being our second Sunday open to the public worked out great. We had over 200 people, exact number coming later. Anyways, I was confronted by one of the people that I use to cover for at Sharpsburg, and they said "it is pretty sweet what you guys got going on here, but don't you miss being at Sharpsburg every week and seeing all your friends and people you know?" Good question...do I? Wow, I actually never really thought about that...honestly, I almost forgot about Sharpsburg, which honestly is not a good thing. Sharpsburg is the biggest part of Madras, they are what is feeding us. They gave us the support, the help, the people, the money, the video message, everything to help set up. With out them...well we would be sitting on the floor with Bill singing camp songs =) lol. But seriously, we all go over to Madras, are told, "3 years, don't come back to Sharpsburg." We all think we are going to miss sharpsburg, thing it is the craziest thing on earth, get to Madras, and completely forget about the people over there. Cant have that. I do miss being at Sharpsburg in ways, but I almost in many ways, like being at Madras more. I get to meet so many new people, help lead a team, watch new people grow to god, and watch Ed preach with out the extra liquids. It is so awesome. But, we can't forget our friends at Sharpsburg who are helping us every day. They are all sitting there waiting for a text message from Bill saying, "200 people" "300 people" "Ed, move a little to the left, your out of the shot" "Jason, you need to wear a better shirt, that isn't working for ya" Its awesome man. They all are just sitting there craving to know what is going on here. Last week, as soon as he could, Kelley Davenport rushed over to Madras. So we really are 1 church, just in many locations. Lets go ccc Sharpsburg and Madras!

If you guys are ever late to getting to church, just try using this excuse on me, Bill, or who ever you leader is. We, or at least I, will be sure to stare, laugh, walk away, and apply everything I learned in the dANGERous series. lol

great post Simon. You, Courtney and your team are doing a really awesome job. Isn't it amazing what God is doing at Madras and Sharpsburg but just think this is only the beginning.
Wow, someone actually reads this thing. lol. You are right, this is just the beginning, and the fact that we didn't drop in half attendance like expected was awesome as well. We did drop though, but not as much as people though.
