- we kicked the weekend off with our second BaseCamp (leadership gathering) on saturday morning:
- attendance was great. we had around 67 people taking time out of there saturday to hang with us!
- we took the opportunity to break down 'missional church'
- this was easy to talk about because it is my passion.
- it was fun to see people really 'get it'. i think this is going to be foundational for us as we move forward on the mission of GOD.
- our sunday services we're amazing as well
- it was hot and sweaty at both locations (in wicker park we handed out popcicles!) but people turned out to meet with GOD. we had 278 @ the wrig and 67 @ wicker!
- i felt like even though it was hot and somewhat hard to focus people were really engaged. the response time in wicker was really intimate and beautiful. it made me proud to be a part of this community.
- if that wasn't enough, we also hosted a kid karnival for wicker park on sunday morning!
- it had the works: face painting, giant slides, bouncy houses, etc.!
- the neighborhood kids had a blast :-)
- our volunteers were amaaaaaazzzziiiiinngggg! they were really phenominal. we had over 40 comprised of folks from both our locations. they really displayed great hearts; serving this neighborhood on behalf of JESUS.
- even when the rain came (in a big way) everyone stuck around and served with amazing hearts.
- i was extremely proud to be a small part of this event. YOU ALL MADE IT HAPPEN!
- p.s. - david wagner kicked butt on this one. way to go waggy!
here is to many more weekends like this! thank you JESUS.
