Let there be light!... or not...?!

Last Sunday we launched our second service at 9am!! It was WAY exciting for us and the life of the church!! Didn't go QUITE as planned though...

Lauren and I were driving up and I notice the first stop light by the church is out.. then I notice the stop light closest to the church is out... then I notice the marquee in our church parking lot is out... then i freak out... Thank God for my wife!! She helped calm me down from where I was!! So, what happened? We had a candle lit service!! It actually went REALLY well!! It was great!! We had 56 people there and a number of new people!! Most of whom said they would be back next week!!

10am rolls around... no power... 10:10am no power... a few of us were standing outside... 10:15am "Heath!! We have power!!!" I couldn't be more proud of our volunteers!! EVERYTHING was running as it should be literally by 10:20... If someone were to walk into our church at 10:20 they wouldn't have EVER known that we didn't have power until 5 minutes ago... Our volunteers rock!! 10:30am service went off w/out a hitch! It was awesome!! we ended up totaling 208 people on Sunday morning!

Tuesday my band was given the opportunity to lead worship in chapel at OCC... I couldn't be more proud of the band!! They rocked!!! I am so proud of how far we have come in the last few months and how we are all starting to come together... best compliment I heard was "You could tell you guys played together a lot!" That's SO exciting to hear!!

So... Join us Sunday at IgniteChurch.tv, 7th and Virginia, Joplin. Wk 2 of Supernatural "Holy Spirit"... 9am and 10:30am take your pick!!
