Sunday Blend :: October 12, 2008

I am still flying high after an amazing Sunday in the life of The Pursuit yesterday.

- The biggest highlight by far was Frank Fernandez's baptism. Words cannot explain how cool this was. On her blog, Janie does a much better job than I ever could so I'll let her explain. More baptisms are on their way.
- After seeing the past four weeks in our new warehouse venue, two services will definitely be needed in our near future! A bunch of new guests are coming (and coming back) every week.
- Our great friends, Sam and Renee Cole and their daughter Catie, came down for a visit this weekend. They are huge supporters of us and The Pursuit. I'm so glad they could see with their own eyes what God is doing. Our dog Jeter definitely misses his new pal, Catie.
- The Big Idea yesterday was: My fourth purpose in life is to serve God by serving others.
- We received a great response from people on their Connection Cards, committing to serve.
- Alex and the band (they need a good band name) rocked out to Gavin DeGraw's "I don't wanna be." Check out the video Alex downloaded below. I am glad people don't really feel the way the title reads!

What a day!

Our new place is already feeling like home and the atmosphere was electric.  I am very proud of everyone who went the extra mile to make this uber fast transition possible.

The Pursuit Needs Purpose Driven Resources

The Pursuit is going through the 40 Days of Purpose starting September 14.  Bob and Linda, Paul and Ali, and Janie and I went through this study together at Traders Point Christian Church several years ago and it was a momentous event in the life of the church.

I am really excited about what God is going to do through this study for our young church.  80% of the people at The Pursuit said they had never heard of the 40 Days of Purpose before.  Have I mentioned lately, South Florida is one of the most unchurched regions in the U.S.? 

You Can Help!
I know there are hundreds of churches and people out there who have Purpose Driven Life books and Small Group workbooks collecting dust in storage.  Would you please consider sending them down to South Florida so we could distribute them to guests for free?

Please send them to:
