Resurrection Day

Churches all over this world taked about new life . . .Wow . . Don't you love it! Well, for the first time, our church staff defined what would be an Easter Win. There was a lot of discussion that went around the table, but they landed on three wins for the day.

1) To run out of coffee! The reason for this is on the back of our visitor cards, we gave our first time visitors a free flavored drink. So one way of knowing if visitors came, the coffee was gone . . .will the results are; we ran out of our free coffee, we ran out of water, and we started off with 4 gallons of products for coffee's and we only had 1/4 of a gallon left . . .not bad!

2) 10 or more visitor cards. Well, we came close, we had seven. Which represented about 29 first time guest. Now it's up to us to do a good followup with these fine folks.

3) 10 Stories of transformation. This is a hard one to evaluate . . and it might take a few weeks to shake out. But I can tell you of a couple I know of. One new couple came to church because their parents evented them. It had been about one year since they had visited the church . . .one family member had lost a close friend, but after the service, felt like like her hope had returned. Another individual made some major decisions to remove themselves from some addictive behaviors. One family that had been with us off and on over the last several years, made a new commenting to attendees more often.

I'm sure there is more but all in all, God was good to us at the Chapel and we had about 100 more people then what we normally have which is a jump of about 30%.

All thanks goes to God
