sunday wrap-up

sunday 1027church got the opportunity to worship with one our many sister churches in the city midtown bridge. man it was encouraging to see some of the things that God is doing there. see once a year the ing marathon runs through the neighborhood where our church meets and literally closes downs streets. it actually runs the main street inman middle school sits on (oh by the way the virginia highland summer fest does the same thing the first week-end of june which provides a great opportunity for us to serve our neighborhood all week-end long.)

but now for the second year in a row the ing has given us permission to allow our church to worship with a sister church and be one church on that sunday. and it was good! their worship and arts pastor paul is doing a super job and their church planter/pastor larry grays brought a powerful message out 1st thessalonians that i think was just for me and my two teen-age children. as a matter of fact it seems like it has been a long time since i just sat in church with my family. thank you holy spirit.

please take some time today and please pray for some of the amazing churches inside the perimeter.

sunday wrap-up

this past week we had the privledge of having westwood baptist church student ministry send some of their best high schoolers, leaders and student pastor micah millican to serve the city of atlanta with the gospel in word and deed.

they arrived saturday and noni @1027church had a home made italian meal ready to feed the eager missionaries, we then entered a time of powerful prayer. sunday morning the westwood crew were just like veritan church planters and helped with set-up and break down of @1027church, picking up krsipy kreme’s and hauling the trailer, good stuff!

the student group worshipped every night where they stayed and had teaching on living as an urban missional person. micah milican and i tag teamed the teaching. good times. monday, tuesday, wednesday mornings a team called the brew crew got to brew more than 20 gallons of coffee to pass out for free at three strategic locations in the city (by the way there are tons of strategic places.)

after short debriefs at krisspy kreme monday – wednesday the students than went door to door collecting food for the atlanta community food bank and all kinds of great face to face opportunities to be Jesus to our city. On thursday the westwood crew picked up all the food from the neighborhoods they had canvased, to God be the glory people gave and they collected 1400 pounds of food.

monday through wednesday from 3-5:30 p.m. the westwood students volunteered at the boys and girls club at kirkwood helping with tutoring and recreations and some awesome snacks. both the students and leaders worked so hard and there literally was no down or waisted time as a matter of face with just a few hours left in the day thursday the students spent and hour and half prayer walking a neighborhood we would love to see God open some people’s hearts to having a personal relatiosnhip with Jesus Christ.

thanks pastor less, pastor rick and westwood church for sending your best to be the gospel in atlanta.

sunday wrap-up

okay so it’s tuesday, march 2nd and its snowing in atlanta for at least the third time this winter. it should not get too bad because it’s not that cold outside. anyway i’m on a little journey this year 2010 to make some changes. for me it’s really an issue of being more discipline in the BIG 4 areas of my life; spiritually, physically, emotionally, and psychologically.

back on january 6th i wrote a blog entitled can I change, you can find it here! so here is the follow-up to that post or part 2. oh by the way these blog posts are just me dealing with stuff in my life, if they encourage or help you that’s great but really it just stuff I desperately need God to change in my life.

let me know what you think?

leadership, life
