This week was amazing!

We had Michael Franzese, a former Mafia Boss, as our guest speaker. His story is profound and nothing short of miraculous. Here is  a link to his book.

We had a total of 207 people on campus. It was exciting to see so many people come out and be a part of our worship experience. This was our highest attended Sunday yet.

We also had 7 people make decisions to follow Jesus. YES!!!!

Even with a shortened music set to give Michael more time, the worship was powerful. There was a tangible sense of God moving on our hearts as we sang to Him.

This past month has been an adventure for us and I’m so encouraged about what the future holds for The Station Church. Helping start a new church has been a monumental amount of work and proved to be incredibly rewarding.

Week #4 was much smoother than last week even with our numbers dipping a bit more. Daylight Savings Time hit this Sunday and I know that affected some people. We were delayed getting into our facility by almost an hour because of the time change.

There were right at 40 people in the main worship experience and 10 at The Kids Station. The challenge to any team is to always give your 100% no matter how many people are there. Each opportunity we have to share the hope of God with people is powerful and we should give everything we’ve got when we do it.

I was proud of our team as I saw them give their best to the people there…and to the God we were there to worship.

The best part of the day…..2 more people put their hope and faith in Jesus!

I’m excited about all that God has done in the past month and even more amped about what God will do in our future.

And then there was Week #3…

Anything worth doing requires we get into the trenches. Down in the mud where it’s a lot of work to just move forward, let alone feeling like you’re making progress. This was the week we jumped into the trench at The Station Church.

We had technical issues, set-up challenges, gear failures, personnel shortages…all the things that become a distraction to the ‘why’ we are doing this. In the end, it’s not that you have struggles…it’s how you manage them and if you push through.

Our team did a great job working through the obstacles…grabbed a quick breath and then hit reset as we jumped into the Worship Experience. I was encouraged by the tenacity and grace with which everyone moved through the morning.

Over the years I’ve encountered my fair share of these days when everything just seems difficult. They aren’t always fun in the moment, but knowing that we can overcome a rough day is what helps build confidence in the team to tackle the next challenge we face together.

Ultimately we were thrilled to see 6 people respond as we considered needing God’s grace and forgiveness in the area of personal relationships and sexuality.

Week #2 at The Station Church. We were curious to see just what would happen after all the energy of our Launch Sunday.

From what we’ve read and learned about starting a new church, it’s typical for attendance to drop by 50% after week 1. We were thrilled when we saw that there were still many new faces this week and that our overall attendance didn’t dip too low. We had 90 people in the main service and 20 in kids ministry for a total of 110.

This week we had 2 more people commit their hearts and lives to Christ!! That’s why we’re doing all of this…now it’s time to CELEBRATE!

The band was stupidly good this weekend. These first few weeks we have to clear the venue quickly for another performing group using the theater, so we’re keeping our sets and Worship Experience times tight.
