I think we have a new anthem at Elevate, the Band played Steve Fee’s Rise & Sing this week and it rocked!

207 people attended Elevate yesterday- I’m blown away with what God is doing after only 8 months.

Finally joined facebook and thanks for all the welcoming comments – most of my facebook updates will be from twitter- I’ll peek in on the conversations at facebook from time to time but email is still best way to reach me with a direct message.

Every 6 weeks or so Kristen and I have the staff and their families to our home for dinner on a Sunday afternoon- yesterday we had a great time- these families are INCREDIBLE people with an INSANE capacity and desire to serve Jesus and the people of the city- I am blessed to have them & Elevate is better because these families are here!

Eagles over Bears 24-20, maybe they will make the playoffs this season.

We’re doing 2 identical services the week of Christmas- December 23rd at 6p and Christmas Eve at 4p- make plans to attend and invite your friends and family too- special invite cards will be available Dec. 6th.

Elevate’s new website is ALMOST ready- be on the lookout as we’re upgrading everything on the new site!

Hearing loads of feedback from yesterday’s talk on Believing the Best of others- I’m just glad it messed with others the way it did me prepping for it!

Excited about Elevate’s Big Give campaign- we’re celebrating our 1st Christmas together as a church family by purchasing a home in Casa Hogar Vida village near Choluteca, Honduras for a family affected by HIV/AIDS.

Have an awesome Thanksgiving Holiday and remember that love always believes the best!
