Fusion


This weekend we are launching stage two in our Elevate Campaign. Fusion will be a four week series on building intentional relationships. We will begin this Sunday as we examine the nuclear reaction that took place when God infused the church with the apostle Paul. We will look at some key elements of who we are as a church and look ahead as we recognize that God is in the process of infusing our church with many new people. It will take some big changes at our smallest levels but in the end we believe that God is transforming us from a church of addition to a church that fully realizes his power of multiplication. Here is a graph of the first 5 years of our church attendance. It is obvious that we have some lessons to learn from our last encounter with breaking 150 back in 2006, and that God is already taking us to places that we have never been before.

Vic Sees the Light

I know many of you have been praying for Victor to regain his sight after his most recent surgery. Just now I received this email from Arlene Murray.

Sunday Elaine told me that Victor was sensing light and said he saw letters randomly. My sister said that when she was there and his mom turned on the light he reacted to the sudden brightness in the room. We serve an awesome God don't we? God is truly a good God Today Elaine said Victor's sight is coming back. THANKS BE TO GOD. She said he saw her face and he could see the metro cards and map's he had on the walls in his room. Lets us give God all the glory and the praise and continue to believe together that Victor's sight will come back 100%. God is able. Please continue to pray for Victor, Shereen and Elaine for continued strength and perseverance and that the Lord will continue to do wondrous things in their lives.

We thank God again for all that he has done and will continue to do for Victor and Lorna.

Thanks be to GOD. Have a Blessed Day.
