rock point's first weekend

busy saturday...it's the day before our first sunday in the new facility. we have a 3 hour worship practice scheduled, but judging by our wednesday rehearsal, i'd say it's entirely possible for this practice to stretch even longer. got to get accustomed to a new sound system, new lights, new room, etc. but it should be exciting!

then @ 4pm we're asking our people to come by the new building for a PRAYER WALK! we want to bathe this new ministry tool in prayer asking God to specifically use each session for His glory! this is a big weeked in the life of our church...getting into a brand new facility and officially changing our name to Rock Point Baptist Church. i praise God for the chance to be a part of it!

some ask me why i personally get excited since carissa and i are heading back to school very soon (hopefully as early as february) and we really won't be around to enjoy all the change, but they don't seem to understand what's going on. this is a God-thing. not a comfort-thing. this facility has been built for the glory of God and the advancement of His kingdom...and that i get excited about. it was not built for my own pleasure or comfort, which makes it easier to hold with an open hand. this is about Christ's Church (emphasis on the capitalization), not just one local church...so the whole body of Christ can rejoice at the work of God!

and this is a weekend for celebration! GLORY TO GOD!!
