Wow, how crazy it is to think we have been doing this for over a year now. This month is a busy one as we are doing evaluations, budgeting and planning for the next few months. As I have been looking over the last year in finances, growth patterns, and changes, I noticed that our average attendance in September 2005 was 42 people per weekend. This past month we averaged 108. I am into 150% growth.
I have been doing a lot of reading and listening to "automobile university" lately. My heart is really challenged and engaged as I think about what Christ would have us do in this next year.
One of the things I really think is at the top of the list is helping those who need help. I am excited that SOY (serve our youth) will be with us in service this weekend. Bernie Van Reukel will be telling us about this ministry to high risk and at risk teens in the Des Moines area.
Should be great.
