We had the most incredible Easter service / re-launch I could have possibly hoped for this morning. Thanks so much for all your prayers and well wishes... I truly felt upheld by your petitions to God on a day when I was more nervous than the day we first started four years ago.
We had a record number of guests; the energy was incredible; and I've never heard our band sound better ~ in fact, all of our ministry teams were phenomenal. God moved through the message, and several people gave their lives to Christ.
Not only this... but as I walked through the children's areas during worship, I felt such a sense of grattitude for how far God has brought our ministry to kids. We've finally nailed excellence in this area...
...and my heart smiles.
