Today was an awesome day! Deanna and I went to the 9:45 AM Service at NewSpring and it was great! Perry preached a message about fellowship as the church is walking through the core values of the church (evangelism, fellowship, worship, discipleship, ministry, biblical authority, and excellence). He challenged Deanna and I, as well as the whole congregation, to get involved in a Home Group (Small Group)with other married couples this next month. We are both really excited about getting involved with a group and building a sense of community within the church.
Tonight, we went to IGNITE (6th-8th Grade Ministry) at the FUSEBOX! It was awesome to see 133 middle schoolers tonight. Pudge Huckaby, the Elementary School Pastor at NewSpring, spoke about the conspiracy theory that the world loves you and God and your family doesn't, which is false (He made that quite clear!)! He did an outstanding job!
After IGNITE, Jake and Suzanne Beaty invited us over to their home to have dinner. It was an awesome time of fellowship and learning from another married couple that absolutely loves Jesus! I am excited to be working with Jake, who I got to know in College and be a youthworker under when I attended NewSpring in college. Tonight was the definition of fellowship, not just the awesome Chinese food we ate, but how much we enjoyed each other's company and learn from one another. God has his hand on this family and has blessed them tremendously! Take a moment to stop and think, when is the last time that you sat down and enjoyed fellowship with someone/a couple. If it has been a while, remember that we are called to fellowship with other believers so that we can be encouraged, built up, taught, loves, cared for, and more importantly honor God!
Tomorrow is my official first day at NewSpring! I am so excited!!! Be praying for Deanna as she goes in search of a job tomorrow! More later.....
