Bring Em' On!



Our passion is to see people find the hope of Jesus! And this past Sunday was the culmination of several months of praying, planning and building (and praise God for Sam S. and Greg G. leading the building!) - as the 'The Dock' (see pic) opened and our Creek Rep Team went into business.

For those of you who don't know what's going on here, we're trying a new approach to intentionally connecting spiritually with every person on Sunday morning. You see we believe that no one is there by accident and we desperately want to connect them to Jesus!

To this end we've built a dock in the back of our worship area (Our vision statement is: Your Family for Life's Journey . . . and if you're going on a nautical journey you board at the dock). We give every first timer a Ticket as they come into worship and then invite them to bring that Ticket to the dock after Celebration. And at the dock, our awesome Creek Rep team greets them individually and spends a few minutes with them for the purpose of hearing their story, and asking God how we can connect them to His hope!

This past (First) week they already had incredible conversations and opportunities to pray with folks who need Jesus!

We want to continually ask God to show us creative ways to love people who live all around us, and those who you bring on Sunday morning. So be praying, loving, and bring em' on!

I can't wait to see what God does in the morning!
