Momentum is an important part of church life. Small success leads to great success. Effective activities and events can build upon each other to propel the community of faith forward. We’ve begun to build momentum here and it is quite encouraging. I believe in using key events as the big building blocks and involving as many people as possible in the execution of these events as the small building blocks. Stemming the Sit, Soak, and Sour tide is only possible when opportunities for growth and service abound.
Yesterday was homecoming Sunday. This community of faith has observed this day each year as the anniversary of the start at their current location. Many people were involved in many different ways to faciliate this "big" event. Led by the Spirit we exalted Jesus and glorified God. In my opinion, this is a pretty good measuring stick for success. Our plan is to continue having a "big" event once a month through the end of the year. The plan is to continue building momentum so that people look forward to the weekly gathering of our community of faith.
We had our first rain last night here in Stockton. Funny how you can get excited about something like rain. It was a nice gentle rain - easily viewed as God blessing a very effective day.
