· Another full house on Sunday—and lots of new faces! People really seemed to like mixing things up by alternating music and preaching.
· It’s great to see the praise and worship team growing as well! Several new faces on stage and several waiting in the wings! Special thanks to the YWAM (Youth With A Mission) students who helped fill in when we had so many people out! YWAM is an awesome missions outreach program! Their people go all over the world (often to dangerous and marginalized places) and share the gospel message with little care for themselves and their own needs. They undergo two years of intense discipleship training as well and are ready and willing to step up and serve wherever they are! That was very apparent this past Sunday! Thanks again, Emily and Cara!
· Loved seeing Drew up there too! We needed someone to read scripture and he stepped right up—even though that’s not particularly in his comfort zone!
· So great to see Charis join Will one last time before they arrive in North Carolina permanently three weeks from now. Please keep them in your prayers as they are undergoing HUGE changes all at once with a new marriage, baby on the way, Will graduating college, and uprooting from the home they’ve always known to start a brand new adventure in North Carolina. Wow! It takes a long time just to type all that!
· So thankful and amazed with all the volunteers we have at Impact! They aren’t just showing up or ‘mailing it in.’ They are serving with excitement and passion to see God do something great through ordinary people. Keep it up, gang! God is already moving big but the best is yet to come!
