Our first Sunday on the West Campus was great! Everything came together quickly and neatly, and our time of worship was great. We had 104 people present, and ran out of chairs (had to use one cafeteria table for extra seating) [view photos].

This morning we had a time of prayer walking the McAnally Campus and then a commissioning service on our main campus [view photos] [listen to sermon]. We’re only one week away from getting started in Aledo!

Thanks to the help of Jim Grace, Paul Shaffer, Bob Wilkerson, John Croslin, Royce Turney, and Charles Ince, we now have a very portable system of moving our equipment in and out of the cafeteria each week.

In addition, our tech team set up our equipment for the first time this past Thursday night, and everything went very well. John Bradley has been a trooper on this project, and it was great to see everything come together so nicely.

I’m very pleased to announce that Rolanda Hairston has agreed to serve in a part-time capacity as the West Campus Children’s Ministry Coordinator. Rolanda has quite a bit of experience in caring for and ministering to children and their families, and I know that she will bring added stability to our ministry on the West Campus.

Today marks one month until our first service in Aledo! God has been so faithful to take us through the past months, and I trust that He will continue to guide us as we make preparations.

We received our first order of children’s furniture and sound equipment, and picked up our video projector, screens, and cables.

Our West Campus worship team led us in a time of worship during our 11:00 am meeting in the Upper Room, and it was a very meaningful time of focusing on God and giving thanks to Him for all that He’s been doing to prepare us.

Today we purchased our West Campus Truck. This is a huge answer to prayer! [view photos]

Our first 11:00 am meeting time together in the Upper Room. The details are scarce, but the calling is clear, and there’s a lot of work to do.
