From Reston Community Church to NewSpring Community Church

No, not me... =) I got this e-mail from a terrific gal named Julie who was a part of RCC and is now a sophomore at Clemson:

My mom told me a week or so ago that you aren't the pastor at RCC anymore. And although I am so sad to hear that I wish the best for you in what is to come, and I wanted to tell you what happened as a result of me hearing this news...

When I looked at your blog, I ended up reading about the Whiteboard Sessions in May and saw that Perry Noble is speaking at it.  I didn't even know he was the pastor of NewSpring until I read his bio and saw his church is in Anderson, SC.  I was so ecstatic that someone right down the road from Clemson was speaking at your event...

I am a sophomore now at Clemson and I still haven't found a church to regularly attend yet, and I really feel like this happened for a reason.  I absolutely love your sermons and so after seeing that Perry is going to speak at the event you created, I decided I had to go. 

I went with my boyfriend last week and my roommate and boyfriend this week, and we love it!! 

Perry is a great speaker in a different way.  He is definitely not your average pastor!  He says things that most pastors are afraid to say in front of a congregation and he makes himself so real and down to earth, which I think is what pulls so many people into their church.  He also makes you feel like he is speaking directly to you -- which is an awesome quality to have and effective.

I just wanted to share my story with you; I just think that it is so cool how it all happened.  I read your blog because you announced that you are no longer pastor at RCC, and it brought me to a church (finally) that I can start to be a part of in Clemson.  Small, but it brightens my day to think about! :)

So cool how God works...
