I was excited about what God did in both services yesterday.  Tim and the band did awesome as usual and I felt God's presence moving among us.  Liz did a great job with her Christmas solo.  I love worshiping with our band.  Great job guys.  Personally, watching the video of Jesus as we sang Glorious One got me fired up. 

We discussed loving our neighbors.  Never an easy topic because all of us have people in our lives that aren't real lovable.  But God worked me over last week while preparing.  Am I truly seeking opportunities to serve my neighbors? Not feeling it! God laid on my heart to leave the church today at 2:00 and head across the tracks to talk with our neighbors.  I have no idea the response I'll receive but I'm going.  I believe for us to reach deep into our community, we've got to get deep into the community.  I'm excited that several people are meeting me who have a burden for others also.  Looking forward to seeing what happens.

Don't forget we'll be having one service on the 23rd beginning at 10:30 am.  It'll be crowded so get here early.  We'll be giving the entire offering away.  Praying for God to give us the largest offering in the history of 5 Point.
