Super Sunday & Sad Monday

We had a great time in worship yesterday as a church. We were down a bit as far as attendance numbers, but the spirit was high. God's presence was truly among us as I believe God began to lift some heavy burdens off the hearts of many who surrendered to Him. We're still experiencing a great number of visitors & hopefully we can get 'em back & keep them. We also had about 40 women register for the new women's discipleship study on Esther by Beth Moore. We're spending a lot of time planning & implementing change that hopefully will bring growth.

Last night we has Super Bowl parties all over town in various locations. More people participated than usually attend a typical Sunday night worship service...hmmm...funny how that usually happens. It was great times fellowshiping together, eating together, & building relationships. The only non-Super thing about yesterday was the Steelers won. Everyone in the media wanted them to & I guess the officials did too b/c for some reason they didn't review the last fumble. If it was ruled incomplete & the penalty on the Steelers was inforced it would have been one more play from the 29. (But hey, that's not really all that important)

Today is sad Monday because we took Cade to the babysitter for the 1st time. Erin has began substitute teaching & will be all week long. She really wants to be home w/ him full-time but she is teaching a few days here & there to help w/ the family finances. It also gets her out of the house. I can only imagine how sad it will be once he trots off to school for the 1st time. He will be 5 months old on Wednesday. Parenting is great. Pastoring is great. All because God is great!

Have a great Monday.

Great to hear things are going well at the new church. From the pictures I've seen of cade, he sure looks happy and healthy!
