Hey ya'll!

Just wanted to give ya'll an update on what's going on at R2C2. Here's the bullet list. It's really amazing!

-We are baptizing about 11 people this Sunday. THAT IS HUGE! If there was nothing else to say that would truly be enough…

-This is our last Sunday at Rocky River Elementary School. We make our BIG transition to Pitts School Road Elementary on August 26. CAN HARDLY WAIT!

-To date, we have purchased about $28,000 in new sound gear and equipment – badly needed upgrades. We’ll be spending about $4,000 more before it’s over with.

-We have a graphic designed working on all new signs and banners for the school. You guys are going to freak out over the look of things and the ministry upgrades we’re making.

-We had someone donate an equipment trailer to the church today! That’s right, I said they “donated” it! Those kinds of things happen when people have caught the vision of what we’re doing at R2C2. THANKS! Now we have a way to haul all of our near gear as well as the old gear.

-Be on the lookout for a new venture coming your way called Rocky River Graphics. I’ll tell you more about that later…

-On Wednesday we’ll be doing a “dry run” at Pitts to check out equipment and work through our new setup strategy. Very excited about that.

-On September 16 we will kick off our first LifeTalk series in the new school. It’s called “Baggage” and I think it will be one of the most meaningful service series we’ve ever done at R2C2.

-I am wanting to do an outdoor service and concert somewhere in uptown Concord where we serve free food, preach a message and then have a baptism all in one. What would that look like? Does anyone have the energy and vision to help plan something like that?

-Did I mention that someone just gave us another trailer today! Dang! We have quite an arsenal now – three trailers!

-OUR PEOPLE ARE OUR GREATEST ASSET AT ROCKY RIVER COMMUNITY CHURCH. I CAN’T TELL YOU HOW BIG OUR PEOPLE ARE STEPPING UP TO HELP MAKE THIS TRANSITION HAPPEN! THANK YOU GANG – SO MUCH – FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. THANK YOU!

God is great!
