Mary . . .

I wanted to tell you guys about Saturday night.  We had some great wins.  First, my wife joined me in our sermon about Mary.  We talked about how humble she was yet you never hear her say, "Are you sure it's me Lord?  Maybe you should have picked someone else."  We know so little about her, but it sounds to me like she walked the fence of being humble before men yet extremely confident in her savior.  She knew if He called her to do it, she could.  Tammi did a great job sharing her heart.  She always does.  I love teaching beside her.

Another great win is we had three new band members on stage with us this weekend.  One was just filling in from another church, but a couple more will be joining us again.  I've met all these guys on Craigslist.  It has become a huge win for us.  One of my prayers has been that we have a really energetic, young worship team and that's starting to happen.  The three guys that I met on CL average 20 years old. They are all very talented and we're blessed to have them with us.  I hope to get some video soon to share with the world.

  In our current series, we've been studying different characters from the Birth of Christ.  Two weekends ago we talked about Joseph, then Mary this last Saturday. For each sermon we've had one of our teens draw the character on our screen while we preach.  I've included the two pictures.  The third picture is one Zach did while we were setting up and practicing music.  It's much more detailed because we preach for about 20 minutes and practice for about 40.  Click on the pics for more detail.  He's super talented.  

Thanks for keeping up with this blog.  God continues to move!
