Last Friday was the launch of our Friday Night Church services. It was a blast.
Many people were involved in making it such a success. There were people working into the wee hours of the mornings to get the new cafe area working and functional. At times it felt like an extreme makeover reality show. There was even a homeless guy come by at around 2.30 in the morning to investigate what was happening. As it turned out, he was a painter in need of work, so Chris quickly put him to work having him stain the coffee shop counter. Some people think it may have been an angel. Regardless it was a God send for the boys. People running everywhere all the way up to to 6.30pm when people began to arrive.
The pre and post service music and cafe was a big hit. It was so exciting to see people connect and to build relationships. Some people stayed for over two hours after church finished drinking coffee and enjoying the BBQ food. That was a win!
There were some first time visitors and there was at least 1 person accepting Jesus as their Saviour. Definitely a win!
Kids Church was launched for the first night service, not sure how many kids were going to show up, it was a step of faith. All up 15 kids enjoyed a power-packed experience. A new curriculum was introduced as a trial and the teaching for the night was… based off Heb 11:1. The kids were on the edge of their seats discovering that They can trust in a God they can't see, because they can see what He has created. That was a win!
On behalf of Ps Tony and Patsy, a very big thank you and it is an honour to serve such a generous and giving church.
