It is hard to believe that we are already at the half way point in the month of August! In light of this fact, it’s pretty amazing what God has allowed us to accomplish as a church body on the Tuesday’s in August thus far. It might not seem like anything special that we have sponsored various events open to all the community, yet let me take a brief moment to recap. On Tuesday the 5th, when we had the summer kick-off BBQ at MHC|WS, we had a little over 250 people, with just under two dozen of those individuals being new to MHC|WS. From the dunk tank to karaoke or even having DJ Sandman live, we were able to make an amazing, fun, attractional Christ-focused impression on our community. On the following Tuesday at Party in the Park, we had around 150 people who came out to have great barbequed food, gospel fellowship and fun competitions. At the BBQ there were just over a dozen individuals that had not been to MHC prior. Also I don’t think it is too boastful to mention that my team, the “11:15am young guns” schooled the “9am old faithfuls”. Regardless, the bottom line was that we were able to glorify the Lord by simply fellowshipping together, having fun, eating great food and opening this event up to the community. As I wrap up this short note, I would encourage you all to sign up as soon as are able for next Tuesday’s “California Dinner and a Movie”. Mars Hill Youth has sponsored the movie at the Admiral Theater, which will be The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. It should be another successful event, there is no cost to view the movie, simply sign up via the city or at MHC|WS this Sunday in the commons. I look forward to seeing you next Tuesday!
