What a weekend....

• On Saturday, the City of Acworth broke ground on the special needs baseball field!! This is going to be one amazing field (full synthetic turf) so it can navigate wheel chairs & walkers and also a special equipped concession stand so some of the players can work when their teams are not playing!! It tore me up to stand back and just experience the excitement of these children & their families!!! What began as a dream and a "extraordinary giving" at one of our services now is a 1.2 million dream that united the entire community!!
• Services today were beyond slammed.....
• Kaitlyn Howell was home from Hillsong Australia and she sang in both of the Compass services! We are so proud of her!
• We continued our series on "Meet Joy" and talked about how to handle stress God's way....the room was pretty thick with what people are going through & facing in life!
• At the 9:30am service we had the Head Football Coach from Kennesaw Mountain High School (Scott Jones) share about his team going to FCA football camp this week and tons of his players & coaches were there as well!! Coach Jones is the real deal and loves the boys and his #1 goal is turning out young men who get that God has a plan for their lives beyond the football field!!
• At the 11:00am service - Coach Shane Queen (head football coach at North Cobb High) shared and then had one of his players share as well.....this young man worked his way through high school, made great grades, played football & supported his mom. He had his life changed last year at FCA camp and there was not a dry eye in the house! A bunch of the Warrior football players were there along with coaches and their new principal Dr. Bynum!!
• We gave our people a chance to give and help sponsor players who want to attend FCA football camp but they can't afford it!! I will say it again, "NStar is at our best when we are giving!!!" I just love our church!!
• I left the campus today and could have stayed there all day just soaking in what God had done all morning!
• It is easy to sit & focus on how disconnected schools are but if you "invest into their life" there are days like today that you begin to see the fruit!!!
  
• I am so proud!!
