Easter weekend recap

Wow! What a great weekend! God is awesome and He is alive! Just wanted to recap some of the things that went on this past weekend. Friday night I participated along with several guys from church, in reaching out to a local bar. It was part of several types of outreach that we have been doing along with hundreds of other churches across the country called Servolution. So at 2am we were in the parking lot of the bar serving those who were leaving with free hot pizza and bottled water and teeling them that they matter to God. Most people were very curious as to why in the heck we were out there. Actually had several WTF's if you know what I mean. And that did not come in the form of a text message!. Ha. One guy told me in all the years that he had been partying and going to this bar he had never seen anybody out there doing what we were doing. Overall it was a great reception by those that our team were able to interact with. Matter of fact the owner of the bar said that we were welcome anytime!!! Praise God for that!! It was an awesome night! Sunday we had a great service at Free Chapel. We had a great crowd! Lots of visitors! The music was awesome! The message was powerful! Everything went very well despite a microphone glitch that happened mysteriously during the beginning of the service. Funny how Satan thinks he can distract us and keep God's work from happening. But guess what El Diablo....DENIED!!!! Don (our lighting guru and engineering animal) jumped right in and got it working without us missing a beat. Thanks Don!! And thanks to ALL our wonderful volunteers! You guys rock! We pray that God will help us to continue being a church that is life-giving and we are so thankful for those that He has sent us and continues to send to us. Cant wait till next week!
