Multi-site

So I got bored for a few minutes (in between prepping for home school, working on some orders, playing online texas holdem..don't ask why, and other stuff) I decided to google something. I decided to google our church, just to see what number it would come up as. So first, I put in "Community Christian" and I saw a link to this church called "Community Christian Church" I was like "huh, i wonder what church this is". Well, it goes to this site. The name is the same, and the game is similar. They are a multi-site church as well. The have a few campuses. The church looks nice, and the talking guy that walks into the screen when you go to the site...is funny, mainly because I told him to go away...and he did. It was just to amusing for my 15 year old mind lol. Anyways, I was looking at this and realized, this is our church in the future. We will probably have campuses all over the Coweta County area, maybe even a little more out reached, soon. I know that our church isn't going to let those 50,000 people in this area stay alone. Together, we can all bring those 50,000 home. Back to where they belong, with our savior. So, get up, get out, and go invite someone. or if you are paralyzed or cant walk for some reason, sit down, grab a phone, and invite someone. Together, we can help bring those unconnected to Christ, and grow to full devotion!

Weekly update: trader edition

Ok, the reason this is called the trader edition is because Bill called me a trader Sunday morning for being at Sharpsburg, so I came up with this name lol. Any ways, here are a few notes from this week.

1. It was one weird sunday as I was at sharpsburg. Not only was I greeted like this "what are you doing here?" but also I had nothing to do really...I just got to sit around and watch everyone else work.

2. Our Children's ministry registration teem rocks. I was at sharpsburg and this little boy was crying, he didn't want to leave his mom and it was his first time. One of the team members walked over, and calmed him down, got him some gold fish, and brought him to his class. It was just to cool.

3. Andrew Marshall is definitely weird, enough said.

4. I got to sit threw a whole service at the Sharpsburg campus for the first time in months. They had a person from the springs (the church that use to meet at Madras) leading the band this week, he did a great job!

5. I love Madras so much more than Sharpsburg now. I just love the challenges so much at Madras, that I couldn't stay at Sharpsburg all day, I had to go back to Madras for the 12 service

6. I love my team. They set up, ran the 10:30 service, and pretty much took down without me today. Thanks Courtney and Preston for stepping up to the challenge, even when the trailer was late and you had to work faster.

7. I got to see the process of the Madras campus getting the tape. I saw the recording, and then Jenny Baker running it to Madras. Great job to them for doing it every week.

Well that is it for this week. The traders edition has been written. Hey, I rhymed..sorta. Anyways, back to normal for me next week. I get to go back to Madras, wahoo. See some of you there.

11 years ago

I can't believe it, but eleven years ago from today, my family and I moved down here to Georgia. I have spent 2/3 of my life in Georgia. I honestly don't have anything to complain about being here either. I love the life I have here, the opportunities, the friends, the church, etc. I do miss the fresh air, Ben and Jerry's ice cream (that hasn't been shipped and transported), the AWESOME maple syrup, and my family. Hanging out with my family is probably my most missed thing about living in Vermont, but I don't think my life would be the same if I was still up there. They did have churches up there, but nothing like ours. This town, newnan, really does have some nice churches, and nice people. Vermont is a very small based state, and doesn't have big..or nice churches like ours. So today, as everyone celebrates 4th of July, my family and I get to also celebrate our 11th anniversary of living here in GA, the place where I was able to start my life.
