Just put the finishing touches on my message. I’m excited about the weekend ahead. We’ve got some Christmas treats, special music, even baby dedications! I’m going to be sharing a simple, encouraging salvation message about the gift of good news. I’ve been praying for all the friends/family people have been inviting. In fact, I just finished reading our Weekly Report and was encouraged by a cool, little stat. We run 10 wk averages on every metric, including first time local guests and fresh start salvations. The last 10 weeks we’ve averaged 89 first time local guests every weekend and the last ten  weeks we’ve averaged 85 fresh start salvations every weekend. Thats amazing. It tells me that people are inviting friends and family and when they come they’re getting touched by God. So, be led by the Spirit, and invite someone to a service (or two) this weekend! It could change their life (and yours) forever! Better yet, bring them. If possible, meet someone for coffee or breakfast and then let them ride with you or follow you. Saturday Night will be a great service time to ask someone to come and then go to dinner after. Just a few suggestions. Can’t wait to see you this weekend!
