Mark's Email - Tom Eichem Edition

Greeting Lifers,

Do you ever come home completely exhausted and yet your tank is full?  That was me after an awesome Sunday morning and a great time at “OUT of the BOX” on Sunday night.  It was so good to be together, to laugh and celebrate what God has been doing in our midst.

Part of my role here allows me the privilege of seeing what God is doing all around our campus on a Sunday.  It was an awesome week.  If you were here, you may have noticed this, but this week, parking lot folks safely parked cars as they do every week.  Greeters and ushers greeted and served with smiles.  Children’s workers got to welcome and invest in over 500 kids.  Student ministries got to lead 150 students in small groups.  Life Group leaders were helping people connect into Life Groups (over 900 people in groups for this semester).  Worship team led us as we worshiped while tech folks made sure we could see and hear everything.   Mark got to share as the Holy Spirit led and this past Sunday 25 people came to know Jesus as their Savior.  25 People moved from death to LIFE.  How great is that!

I want to say thank you.  Thanks for serving in the role that you do.  Thanks for loving the babies, answering INFOdesk questions, running the camera, praying with people after services, greeting visitors at the corner, teaching the kid’s in small group, translating the service into Spanish, counting money and serving in a host of other ways this weekend.  God used you.

Be sure and join us this Sunday.  Mark will continue to share what it means to be a weirdo as we look at being a weird church.  

Until Sunday for Mark,

Tom Eichem
Executive Pastor

Quick note to 10AM service: If you go to the 10:00 AM service, you may have noticed that it is bulging at the seams.  This tends to be the place that most of our visitors and their kids land.  Let me cut to the chase.  If you attend the 10:00 AM service – consider moving to the 8:30 or 11:30 service to make room for our guests.
