Weekend Recap

• Great kick-off of the new year and the Stripped series.

• If you've ever wondered what it means to be "born again" and you missed this weekend, be sure to check out the video or the podcast on the website. They'll both be available about mid-week.

• The band really rocked the NHC version of Saved. Bob Dylan at NHC! Imagine that!

• Met TONS of new folks yesterday and saw lots of familiar faces back after holiday absences. In case you've been wondering, attendance has been up significantly and because of Saturday night service we have space for MORE NEW PEOPLE!

• One thing that really impressed me this weekend - NHC is MESSY! Some of my lobby conversations broke my heart this weekend...
    - A single mom whose ex is threatening her
    - A man who has basically lost his career, wife and family - all at once
    - A man whose wife recently left him
    - A wife whose husband just doesn't get it
    - Two folks who are waiting on serious medical test results to come back
It takes a messy church to reach a messy world!

• Overheard from a 4-year old who jumped up in the middle of his Uhambo class and shouted: "I'm having so much fun!" That just pumps me up! I love what Cathy and our Uhambo teams are doing for our kids (mine included!). We have an absolutely awesome kids ministry at NHC that is second to none. For the life of me, I cannot understand why some parents want to fight us on having their kids in the adult service instead of in Uhambo!

• Next week we're kicking Pt. 2 of Stripped, so GET YOUR FRIENDS HERE!

• Now, on another note - no, I will not share my recipe for Triple Chocolate Brownie Pie. A good chef keeps some things to himself and this recipe is so secret that if I told you, I'd have to kill you.

• And on another note - Carolina LOST...Duke WON!!
