This Saturday we are officially launching our Saturday night service!  With two services already on Sunday morning and now a third on Saturday night, you’d think that things would be crazy around here, but the exciting thing is that I’ve never seen our staff so excited and, for lack of a better word, happy.

Now, you have to realize, that Clovis Hills is a great place to work and people don’t walk around stressed or upset, but generally speaking, we’re all really nervous people and at any given time, one or more of our departments has something huge going on.  With the new service, we all do, but yesterday at our monthly staff lunch, we laughed and shared stories of what God is doing to prepare us for this new step in our church’s history.

It was so amazing to see people laugh and tell stories of how God has brought in close to 3 hundred new volunteers to meet the needs of the new service and how He is getting people out of the blue chairs and into serving here.  For my part, God is doing amazing things!  My wife and I lead a small group of young couples who have all responded to the challenge to lead their own growth groups!  Some of the guys from the band who are in another group I lead on Tuesday nights have responded to the challenge to go to Africa with 8 others from our church and in the last few months we have added 5 new musicians which means that this third service won’t kill our current band members.

It is definetly a new day here at Clovis Hills.  I can’t wait to see what happens next!
