Weekend recap!

What a weekend it was......here are some highlights:

• Largest "Thrive" weekend we have ever had....great job to our student ministry team (Nick, Brad, Sharon, Greg & Amanda)......SOLID!!
• I spoke 3 times to the students and loved getting to know them......we have some STUD students who God is doing amazing things through!!
• Last night at our closing session, Chris Orr & his band absolutely blew the lid off in worship and Chris had the students read Is. 53 and look at what Christ did on their behalf and he talked about that is WHO we worship....and sang a song "Worthy is the Lamb"...never heard it but it was strong! I spoke for 5-10 minutes and challenged students from Is. 26:8 "Yes Lord" and we talked about saying yes to God
• 20 students gave their lives to Christ last night
• 100+ made the commitment to "say yes" in living for Him and making His name famous on their campuses.......WOW....blown away....humbled!!
• We then went to Ultimate Dodgeball where our staff team was smoked by some high school guys......I still hate losing!!! Totally fun however!!
• Today - we cranked up the Braveheart series with STRONG....how do we keep our hearts strong in tough times....It was a "thick" day and you could feel God's hand heavy on our people
• Lisa Jones came up after the message and belted "Anyway" by Martina McBride.....over the top - out of the park - Incredible!!!
  
• What a day!! I met so many that are facing the "stuff" of life and today was perfect!!
• I don't normally encourage you to download a message but this is one you want - the content from Ps.27 is right on the money for where we live!! www.northstarchurch.org
• Baptized 10+ after the service - that is always a blast....love seeing adults & kids following thru on what God has done in their lives!
• Great day of baseball today - NOW I am going to chill for the evening!!!
• What a weekend - what a day - what a God!!!
