Monday is Done!
Well Monday is done and it didn’t take long to get into the workload of the week! (were we in Nashville yesterday or last year?!)
Continue to get great feedback from yesterday! I want to throw out my thanks and gratitude to Pastor John for finishing up our Wild Goose Chase series.
This was a great series to launch Renovation, 09, New Life in Christ for many people! I have gotten several emails from people… here is one I thought was great…
“Loving the Wild Goose Series. My favorite chapter is Good Old Fashion Guts…..coming out of the cage of fear. I’ve been too tenative, and passive when it comes to the will of God. I need to play offense more, stop living in a defensive mode.
I liked what you said a few sundays ago about the transformation of our City! I sense that many of us will have to come out of the cage of fear, having a faith that dares to fail. Not being content with holding things in place, but rather being compelled to move forward as the Lord leads.I’m believing God to transform the city of Buffalo. Looking forward to what lies ahead at Renovation…”
We had another great day in seeing more and more folks coming to Renovation from around the neighborhood and surrounding community… 232 @ 9:19 and 197 at 11:00 (blown away!) and another 51 kids in Renovation Station!
On the flip side we had our lowest offering since we launched Renovation. I never get to overly excited or down about one win or one loss (coaching taught me this) so I am not going to “panic” but I do know that if we are going to be… and do all that God wants us to do at Renovation then the people who call Renovation home… we must give more and do more as the Apostle Paul wrote about in 2 Timothy… so if you forgot to “visit” the offering station during worship yesterday you can mail it in 
!
Went to the Memorial Service today at Eastern Hills for all of the victum’s. It was packed… Buffalo is a great community to live in, people care, people will sacrifice for a worthy cause! Earl has been ministering to the first responders and families since Friday because of being an FBI Chaplain… so please keep him in your prayers!
This Sunday is going to be a very special Gathering because we are going to dedicating several parents and their “new arrivals” we know that there are going to be many guest so I am praying that God will invade our space in a powerful way on Sunday… dom’t miss it… music/worship is going to be great with some special guest helping us!
