Out of control!
So, we had our first preview service in the theaters yesterday and it was out of control! In case you were wondering that is a very good thing. Of course we had a few problems, but thats why we are doing two preview services before the BIG launch on January 20th. It felt so amazing to be in the theaters away from the stuffiness that big fancy buildings often bring. It definitely fits our style to a t. All of the volunteers we had did an amazing job setting up and tearing down the three mac daddy trailer loads of equipment that it takes to do church in the theaters. I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart and without you none of this is possible. Thanks for latching on to the vision that God has given this church, to be whole-heartedly in pursuit of the lost, and running right beside us every step of the way. Pastor Byron used this illustration Sunday, our life is like a picture drawn by connecting the dots, if we skip any dots the out come will not make sense. God has brought this church through many difficult times, but without them we wouldn't be the church we are today. Please remember this in your own life, God has a plan for you, all you have to do is follow the dots. Be persistent and don't give up, God has something amazing in store.

I'm so excited!
Hello everyone,
Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. I have been in Georgia for the past week visiting family and friends, and before that we were really busy moving out of the church. Now we are out and are busier than ever getting ready to move into the theaters, but i felt like i should make some time to blog. I hope that everyone is having an absolutely wonderful New Years Day, I know I am. I am so freakin excited about moving into the theaters, it fits our style way better than the building we were in before. I walked into the theaters with the electrician, pastor barry, and pastor t-rav to check out the theaters and understand how all the power was wired and instantly felt at home. I attend movies at Regal Cinemas occasionally, so i am familiar with the smell and the atmosphere of it. I then began to think, if i was someone who had never attended church before where would i go? A nice, big, fancy building with columns and choirs, and cookie-cutter christians dressed like a million bucks, or a church that meets in a place that i go often and am familiar with, with people who welcome me with big, fat smiles even though i am wearing flip flops and an AC/DC t-shirt? Sorry to stereotype so much, this is from one extreme to another, but hopefully you get my point. C3 is going to be in a way better position for God to use to reach people that don't know Him, and at C3 thats what we are all about. Connecting the Community with Christ. The launch is January 20th , first service starts at 9 the second at 1030. GET READY ORLANDO!
