• God showed up. The presence of God makes ALL the difference!  No matter what other amazing tools and systems God gives you – the technology, the hospitality, the facility, the systems, the leadership teams ….NOTHING is even close the importance of God’s presence!  Thank you Jesus for showing up!!
• Prayed with a 15 yr. old to receive Christ….as Perry Noble says, “That never gets old!”

• Volunteers….the second most valuable ingredient to successful worship and ministry…..people who work all week on their jobs, get up early on Sunday, write their tithe check, get their kids up, get everyone dressed, drive to church, walk in with a big smile and serve serve serve!!!  Tears are in my eyes as I write these words!  I THANK GOD FOR THE AMAZING VOLUNTEER ARMY AT WC/BRIDGE!!!
