An apology from your pastor…

Don’t worry, this is an apology for a good problem!  I have to apologize for the crowding these past two Sundays at Mountain Lake! Specifically  the parking, entering, and exiting issues we’ve been working out the last two weeks on our campus!  I DO want to apologize for any inconveniences you may have experienced with all of this and assure you we are working all of this out.

Here are a few things to know and keep in mind this week:

• We’ve NEVER had these sizes of crowds on our campus at one time. We planned for MONTHS on all of this, but there’s no way to know EXACTLY how it’s going to flow until REAL PEOPLE with REAL CARS are in the flow!
• We hope to have the State Patrol working the red light at Hwy 369 & 9,      THIS SUNDAY,  in addition to the Sheriffs that have been working our Exits. This should help tremendously!
• Getting here a few minutes earlier helps!
• If you are open to turning south out of our campus, then left on Hwy 306, then North on GA 400, it can help.  3 minute detour.  Come on, you’ve got 3 minutes!
• Hanging out a few minutes AFTERWARDS in our cafe or lobby helps!
• Following the 11 AM service, we will open up both the ENTRANCE and the EXIT to leave the campus!
• Finally, if you ‘re looking for a church where there are few people and no traffic issues, they are relatively easy to find. However, if you’d rather find  a place where God is at work, people are experiencing life change, and people love inviting their friends ; a church that has a vision for its community and world, and is a safe place for disconnected people, this church is for you! Even worth a little hassle! You agree?

There is no need to apologize. The overcrowding problems we face are just evidence of the way God is working in the lives of people in our community. I can't speak for everyone, but I for one am willing to put up with a little "inconvenience" to hear the word God has for me and the ability to have it used in my life. Thanks Shawn for "keeping it real" and making it relevant to our everyday life.
