• Great morning - another day of huge summer crowds!
• There is a ton of momentum going into the school year
• Got to slip out of the 11am service and watch the end of the True North service - that was fun to see how many people are in that service every week!
• Met a bunch different people this Am that teared up when telling me their stories of finding NorthStar and then finding God!
• The NStar picnic tonight was incredible.......around 700+ at the lake with us!
• The best food yet at any of our picnics.......solid effort on bringing food - Casey & I loved it since we are living without our girls!
• Great to meet so many people that I just see every Sunday and getting to meet their families and learn their names!
• Once again baptism was huge!!! There were over 80+ baptized tonight...all ages, all backgrounds, all walks of life......a true picture of what God can do with a willing heart - no matter your age!! I will post some pics this week!
• We have now baptized around 150 this year - and there are tons still waiting.......I never get tired of watching people exchange ordinary for extraordinary!!!! Gotta love it!!
