Hello happy bloggers,
Another great summer service! We did not get a crowd count this Sunday (400+?) but some great connection card comments...

- "Drove by." --
"Was at the Post Office across the street." --
"Riding by and stopped and asked someone what was going on. "Church." I decided to stay. Enjoyed the service. A good way to start the day. God bless you all."
And as Pastor Lana put it.. "wasn't it wonderful that the rain held off until everything was picked up, packed up and gone?!"
By the way, I am writing this today (Monday) from my office away from the office in Central Florida. Check out the photo. One of the great things about starting a church is that you get to try things in a different way. Since the beginning of Celebration, I have wanted there to be an emphasis on the preaching and teaching. So, around four times a year, I just pack up and spend a few days doing just that. What am I working on this week? Well, a new message series I am calling "The only thing constant is change." Change is now the new buzz word but it is more than that. Just check out this weeks Time magazine with South Florida on the cover. Not quite sure the topics yet, but we need help in figuring out our place in the changes happening to all of us and all around us.
Also, I am pulling out a 2002 bible study on Bad Girls Of The Bible. Adding slightly bad girls, really bad girls and bad boys also to the mix so should turn out to be fun on Wednesdays.

OK...my question for the week...
the connection cards show that the majority of first time church guests last week found Celebration by just "stopping by" and "Checking it out".

Should we take money spent on newspaper advertising and use it for banners and other high profile signs letting people know that this is a service in the park? Both? None? Other ideas? Let us know what you think on...the blogspot!!!!!

just a suggestion...we used to put up banners in the park and on the stage. People just passing by could see that it was a unique church experience that was taking place in the park.
That is a good idea. And we have some beautiful and informative banners that look great in the park. We just need someone willing to be responsible for the set up and take down. So, here is your chance to put together your very own banner ministry team!
No question that we need to have our mission, Church on the beach...int he park" displayed in many fashions. But, your are right, Pastor Gene, we need folks willing to give of their time and energy to help us in the mission.
