Launching COAHC

Okay, here we go... The date is set. We have our launch date for City On A Hill! We'll start with a home group @ 6pm each Saturday evening beginning August 2. We'll offer a children's ministry right off the bat. My sister, Debbie, has a passion for children and has been working with kids even before she got saved. Children's ministry, Christian education and kids' camps has been her thing for the last several years. She's committed to being a part of our launch team, and I'm really stoked to have her. Debbie's having surgery on her knee on Friday, so we're going to use her "downtime" over the next week or so for planning. As a dad and a pastor, I couldn't think of anyone better to be teaching and leading my kids in their relationship with the Lord.

So, what do you think about the Saturday evening thing? It's kind of funny that the Lord is leading us in that direction because the church where my wife and I met only offered a Saturday evening service for years before growing enough to be in a position to offer something on Sunday too. For us, once we got used to going to church on Saturday evening, it was really hard to change back to a Sunday morning routine. A Saturday evening service will offer COAHC a lot of advantages, especially during the launch period.

I'm so excited!!!
