Labor Day Weekend #3

This is my third Labor Day weekend as a church planter… who woulda thunk it?  

Not me… 

10 years ago I was in Dade CIty Florida trying to figure out how to be a youth pastor/worship leader (yikes)/husband/dad (2 kids…dbl yikes) if you would have told me then where we would be in just 10 years I would have told you to stop smokin whatever it was you was smokin…

10 years of following the “Wild Goose” and here we are and I gotta say I love it and am totally blown away by what God has done and what He is continuing to do all around me.

Had a great time yesterday as we looked hard at what it means to Finish Strong especially us men!

We had 70 kids over in Renovation Station!!

Joshua is stepping into more of a leadership role as Earl has stepped out and has gotten a lot of our students involved in the drama/music during PowerZone… I love seeing our JV/Varsity students getting inVOLVED early, developing a culture of serving and serving with excellence and passion even though they are “only” teenagers!

If you have a passion to mentor/act/sing/serve make sure you go by the resource table Sunday (or call the office -819-4100) and fill out an inVOLVED card we can get you plugged in at Renovation Station!

Had a bunch of 1st time guest w/ us… which always excites me to see… love meeting talking w/ and hearing how they get to RC.

Had a chance to have a phone conversation tonight w/ Scott Stockton our Director of GroupLife… so encouraged, and jacked about all that is going on. We are praying that everybody gets connected into a group… it is where LIFE… it is where we take the next best steps in our relationships w/ both Jesus Christ and others! 

We grow in CIRCLES not in rows! Get in a circle this fall!

Does everybody know that we are launching our first Divorce Care group this Wednesday night… just show up… 6.00 -8.00 in the Renovation House/offices.

also for you guys…

Men’s Fraternity starts next Wednesday morning at 6.00 -7.30 sign up this Sunday or just show up… wk books are $10… I can’t wait to see how God is going to use this environment to help men FINISH STRONG! 

Any man can come… they don’t have to attend RC or any where… bring a friend with you!

School starts tomorrow for the Cockrell clan… can’t believe that we have an 8th, 5th and a 1st grader… time is truly flying by and I ain’t a liking it one bit!

Gloria started teaching her two classes at BUff State last week so the Cockrell fam is bout to get busy!

Hope everybody had a great LD!
