Weekend highlights

We had an incredible weekend at The Fields Church.

- We lunched our Saturday night service at Common Grounds. The team did great. Several new people came to check it out. We were packed. And best of all, some people let us know they are interested in following Jesus. That. Is. Awesome.

- SEVERAL people brought friends to our Sunday service. Always exciting to meet new people.

-Some of our college students are back. Great to see them after their summer off.

- People are letting us know each week they are re-connecting to God and making Him an important part of their lives. This never gets old!

Here's some pics from Saturday night:

Sunday Reflections

  • Our "silent" opening Sunday in the renovated auditorium at The Fields was incredible. A buzz of excitement and expectation filled the place. (Pics to come later. Come see in in person to get the full effect.)
  • Watching people respond to Jesus to be the leader of their life is SO exciting. Several people responded to make Jesus their "top influence" of their life. That's what it's all about.
  • The new Influence teaching series is hitting hard. (1) We gotta follow Jesus with everything and make sure he is #1 Influence in our life. (2) We need to be an influence on other people's lives.
  • Our new modern worship environment brings such a comfortable and intimate atmosphere that allows the craziness of the world to disappear and places God at the center focus.
  • I loved seeing people sitting in the "Upper Deck" of The Fields drinking coffee and laptops open.
  • OK...I gotta admit this: that video screen is simply amazing. So excited about the potential we have with this.
  • Two guys from the local homeless shelter came for Sunday service. That's awesome. We fed them lasagna Saturday night, then we "fed" them gain Sunday morning.
  • We had SEVERAL new families Sunday. Keep 'em coming!
  • Pre-service prayer was powerful. serious. If you want to experience an incredible prayer time, you gotta try 8:30AM prayer.
