I don't know what it was, but there was such an incredible sense of joy in our services Sunday. It was powerful, and moving, and fun, and it connected us together. It's why I love coming together so much. It's why I love Jesus so much. It's why I love New Life so much.
• I LOVED the worship bands take on this song, "I need a Savior" by Among the Thirsty. You can click the link for a "youtube.com" version (not our band).
• We really messed up during the first service. Somehow we got going and completely missed a time to pray and honor our veterans. We did it in the other services but completely missed it in the first service. My apologies to all of you who were there. We admire and honor all who have served and are serving to secure our freedom.
• We were PACKED OUT during the 2nd service, standing room only in the back. As exciting as that seems, I know it means a less than optimal experience for those who can't find a place to sit. Some of our welcome team told me that a few people left because there just was no room. While our First and Third services have good crowds, they aren't near to capacity yet (but getting there). If you're a regular 2nd Service attender, I want to challenge you to make the move to First or Third and make room for new people that are coming to NLCC.
• I loved being a part of seeing 15 families dedicate their children to the Lord. Those are powerful moments for a family. Keep praying for them as they love and raise their kids.
• There were 12 people that stepped across the line of faith and committed their lives to Jesus. That NEVER gets old!
• It was fun to celebrate Pastor Jon's 40th birthday with everyone. We capped it off with a staff BBQ and dessert for Jon on Tuesday. We also managed to surprise him by emptying 10 cans of silly string all over him as we finished singing Happy Birthday. I know he REALLY enjoyed it ;) You can see the picture on Facebook here.
