• Happy Memorial Day!! Today is the day we pause to reflect on those who gave their lives for our freedoms and our country. To the countless members of our armed forces – Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and National Guard – we give our thanks and our respect.
• Solid weekend at NHC this weekend. Of course attendance usually takes a hit on Memorial Day weekend, but it was still strong.
• One thing I can say about our volunteer teams and staff – even on holiday weekends they give it their best shot. There’s no holiday mentality that leads to slacking off on what we do week in and week out.
• And it pays off – people settled their eternal destiny this weekend! Awesome!
• One more weekend to go in the So You’re Dead…Now What series. We’re wrapping up with Heaven, so get your friends here next weekend!
• BAPTISM!!! It’s coming up on the first weekend of June. If you haven’t been baptized since putting your faith in Jesus, YOU NEED TO BE BAPTIZED! Stop by Next Steps next weekend and pick up a Baptism Info packet, or just go ahead and register.
• Plans are underway for our first Block Party in June. Community Group leaders are taking over the planning and execution of our Block Parties, so there should be a totally new look and feel to the whole thing this year. Personally, I love Block Parties and I can’t wait for the first one.
• Last week was dance recital week in our house, so I spent most of the week alone while Arianna and Susan were at rehearsals and performances. I went to the Friday night performance, and I have to say, it was quite a show.
• Having the house to myself all week gave me a chance to catch up on a couple of movies that I’ve wanted to see this week – Appaloosa and Quantum of Solace. I’ve never really been into the James Bond thing, but Daniel Craig has definitely taken the James Bond franchise to a whole new level. Great car chase at the beginning of the movie!
• We’re planning a new sermon series in July called “FAQ's.” This series will be voted on by YOU! During the month of June you’ll be voting on topics and we’ll trim it down to the top 4 topics and hit them all in the month of July. So, be thinking ahead about what you’d like to see us cover!
• Have a great week!
