First 100 Days

My Top 3

100 days is a significant achievement.  In schools they celebrate the 100th day.  The media reviews the president after his first 100 days.  And yes that is right.  The Madras campus has now been officaly open for 100 days.  What has happened over the first 100 days well more than I can ever type or remember.  Here are just a few of the highlights:

• 100’s of people have visited with us. 
• Around 170 a week as of this week.
• Many people who had not in a long time attended church are now loving church again.
• God is growing the Newnan, Happy Valley, Palmetto area closer to Him.
• Student Ministry is doing amazing as around 15 students meet each week.
• Our children’s ministry is going great as more kids and volunteers join us nearly every week.
• John Martin has done an incrediable job leading our band every week.
• We are quickly becoming known as a very friendly church as our greeters and others are meeting everyone.
• Lots of prayer for our campus each week.
• 100’s of people who gave to Chapter 2 so that we had the finances to start this campus.
• Had our first baby born and another on the way.
• Gave away 2 awesome “Man like Easter Egg hunt, kickball and family picnic.
• Set up and tear down teams are flat out awesome.  Great job girls and guys.
• About to have our first Discovery Class and Small Groups.
• Been able to assist other churches who are looking to be portable like us.
• Great relationship with Madras Middle School.  Able to feed all teachers/faculty breakfast one day.
• Love being part of Community Christian Church as people from our campus have been able to attend Dave Ramsey Financial Peace, AA, Al-Alon, and other care groups at Sharpsburg.
• We combined campuses for a great volenteer appreciation banquet.
• More people serving in more positions than ever before. 
• Due to our start up, we opened up more much needed seats at Sharpsburg.
• Been able to have awesome LIVE dramas and music on a portable stage in a cafeteria.
• Personally I have many new friends that I look forward to getting to know better.
• My kids love the campus

That’s just a few of the highlights.  What an incredible journey this campus has already been.  Being able to serve with so many people that will just flat out do anything to help the church is amazing.   What awesome people God has brought together to reach out to the Happy Valley, Newnan, Palmetto area.  Thank you for letting me serve with you in this way.  I’m ready for the next 100 days!!  Are you?   I believe greater things are coming. 

Thanks for a great first 100 days.
