Yesterday we celebrated "Global Awe-dacity Day" at Mountain Lake Church. First time in our history we've done something like this. Here are some highlights:
- No, we didn't flip the services this Sunday.
- We showcased every World Care Partner we have a relationship with.
- We had booths from our World Care Partners displayed all over the lobby. Thanks to all of our partners for all you did in making yesterday such an amazing day!
- Videos from Land of a Thousand Hills Coffee, American Caribbean Experience in Jamaica; Engage City Church in Australia; and ELAM ministries, Iran.
- It was an honor and privilege to have Dr. Jean Dorlus, from STEP Seminary, in HAITI, with us! Jazzed about this partnership in Haiti! Pastors: interested in partnering with us on this project? Drop me a line!
- Also an honor to have Nicole McCoy, Exec. Director of Forsyth Community Connection in the house! So pumped about our partnership with them!
- Great to have Paul and Sherry Peterson,some of our church planters from 180 Church, in the house!
- "Our tendency when we hear all of this is to say: 'Wow, Shawn. This is great. I'm glad we're doing this. I believe in this.' But do we really?"
- 3 levels of belief in a cause:
- Belief in a cause to the level of convenience.
- Belief in a cause to the level of comfort.
- Belief in a cause to the level of sacrificial commitment.
- "Christian talk is cheap. Our belief in a cause is demonstrated by the level of our action, not the level of our voice."
- HUNDREDS stood up in each service, expressing their desire to step toward serving our community, nation. and world in a greater way!
- I has another friend from the community visit first time yesterday, and said he enjoyed it. He was even more enthusiastic about seeing a church serve the community!
- Leadership Community yesterday afternoon: BEST ONE EVER! Todd Nichols gave us a first glimpse at the Mountain Lake Worship Project he's been working on. We'll unveil some of these songs to everyone else at Awe-dacious MERGE Wed night, May 5.
- Anther awesome day at Mountain Lake Church.
