New Attendance Record on West Coast! w/pics!
 

We had a great day of Victory today. Keep in mind; this weekend is our one-year anniversary at our church. We started with a membership between 40-50 people.
Today we had 144 in attendance (new record), had a great service, including using cardboard testimonies, we baptized 2 new people. This month we will open another 2 recovery houses, we need a new building and our people are thrilled and excited with what God is doing.

Love the cardboard testimonies!!

Re: New Attendance Record on West Coast! w/pics!
 

I wasn't sure how it would turn out, but it ended the message with personal stories, the place was in tears, I was!

Re: New Attendance Record on West Coast! w/pics!
 

I am afraid that the way our culture is going with casual wear, they may be short lived.

Re: New Attendance Record on West Coast! w/pics!
 

I like preaching like this, but I feel I want to portray excellence and challenge our people to excellence, preaching in a nice suit I believe does help raise their level! But I love them no matter what!

Looks like that one sister lost her hair in the water.

Re: New Attendance Record on West Coast! w/pics!
 

ROFL! I glad you noticed that her sins weren't the only thing left in the water!

Re: New Attendance Record on West Coast! w/pics!

Re: New Attendance Record on West Coast! w/pics!
 

Thank you everyone for all the encouraging words. Yesterday during the CBT's I was so over come with emotion it made me cry! I could hardly sing! I am thankful for all the lives that are being changed at VCC.

The platform faces the door every enters through to get to the sanctuary, I was choking back tears then too, as the folks just kept pouring through the doors. The one picture I took of the congregation was taken AFTER the children were dismissed for SS, so it was more packed that that after song service.

We had an Easter Egg hunt yesterday and I MISSED him hunting for his...I was so bummed!

I know He is SOOO big now (He will be 3 in June). He has us all including his grandparents wrapped around his little finger! :D

Keith,

I love this thread. The pics, the posts, and the cardboard testimonies were a big blessing today. Keep up the good work!

Re: New Attendance Record on West Coast! w/pics!
 

Great thread and pictures

God Bless,

Re: New Attendance Record on West Coast! w/pics!
 

I'm glad to I'm not the only one, Sherri.

Were you playing or singing a song during all the cardboard testimonies? Which one?

This is an AWESOME report, Keith and Jeannie (Elizabeth). You are doing an incredible job there.

Re: New Attendance Record on West Coast! w/pics!
 

Elizabeth made this from the pictures

I'm sure they may have done it differently, but most churches have used, "He Love Us" by Misty Edwards for cardboard testimony...do a search on youtube and you can find some videos posted.

Re: New Attendance Record on West Coast! w/pics!
 

Great job guys! Love the pics
