Southbrook:Monroe Grand Opening

We got into our building for Christmas Eve services...we have been worshiping on Sunday mornings for about a month...now it's time to officially introduce Southbrook:Monroe to the community. On Sunday February 22 we will celebrate our Grand Opening. It's time to take our church to the next level. It's time to step it up in every area of ministry.

What needs to be done?

1) Invite, invite, invite. Ask everyone you can to come and be a part of this celebration with us. We will have invite cards available soon.

2) Volunteer - if you are willing to help out, please do. We need people to make phone calls, coordinate plans, serve food, and a number of other things. Want to help? Email Nancy now!

3) Be at our special volunteer training lunch on Sunday February 8. We will meet right after the morning service...we'll get started around 12pm. If you are currently involved in a ministry, or are interested in helping out in a ministry, you need to be there. Or if you know someone who would like to get more involved, bring them with you.

God is about to do some amazing things. I would ask you to join me in prayer for this event, and for other big events we are going to plan during the year. Our goal is to reach people who are far from God and bring them into an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.

Fire Inspection & Bathroom Stalls

We are one step closer to having offical occupancy. I met with the Monroe Assistant Fire Marshal today and we did our final walkthrough. He signed, I signed, and we were on our way.

All we are waiting for now is the final building inspection. We are waiting on the HVAC company to repair one of our heating units. The part is being manufactured and should be here in the next couple of weeks.

As I write this, the bathroom partitions are finally being installed. Finally, some privacy for those who need it!

Here's a sneak peak at what has been done so far:














Have a great day!

Sunday @ Southbrook: 01/25/2009

Another great day - another great service...

Thank you first to all the amazing volunteers who know how to get things done. You guys are amazing! So many of you go above and beyond...making our church a special place to worship.

Today we continued our journey through the book of Hebrews. Pastor Rob talked about angels, and their relation to Jesus. Jesus is great than the angels. Jesus created the angels. The angels worship and serve Jesus.

We also had the privilege of hearing from two of the men who were on US Airways flight 1549 that crash landed in the Hudson River last week. Very interesting to hear the story from the perspective of someone who was there.

We've got a lot coming up in the next few weeks. I hope you're ready! We are going to need everyone to pull together and be a part of what is coming next. More details coming soon.

I hope you all have a great week!
