After originally planning on a 10:30 start, we switched to a 5:00pm service time after talking to some people who were interested in coming, but were currently at other churches (no, we’re not trying to steal people), and talking to several local Pastors. This would also allow us to go to and meet with other Pastors on Sunday after their services.
Tony led our music with Amazing Grace (I’m forcing him to learn guitar and play). He did a great job. His hard work during the week shows in learning a new instrument. After singing, Heather took the kids and did a bible lesson with them. I taught (we’re in a bible study format currently) about the book of Philippians and led a study on an overview of the book. I enjoyed teaching about the book and enjoyed the discussion with those present. Next week, the 1st, I’ll teach on Philippians 1:1-2.
This week we increased our attendance by 200%. Last week it was just Heather and I (which is why this is titled #1), and this week we were joined by Tony and Susan and our neighbors.
