Dear Coastal,

I really can’t say enough good things about our 1st Annual Marriage Retreat last weekend!  That’s right – ANNUAL!  We will definitely do it again next year!  But this years attendees, speakers, venue, and food all worked together to make this a weekend worth remembering!  A huge thank you to Dan Blumenstock and his staff at the Doubletree for all their hard work and extra care in making our weekend so special.  We are also talking with Sharon Thomas about hosting a Women’s Conference this year at Coastal!

Easter Sunday, March 27th is only 37 days away!  Start praying now!  Who will you bring?  Who will you invite?  Right now it looks like we are going to combine Easter Sunday with the Grand Public Opening of our new building!  Woohoo!  We will have a soft opening a week (possibly 2) before Easter to get all the kinks worked out.  Last year we had 774 people on Easter Sunday underneath a huge tent on our property with the threat of bad weather.  I think we can break 1,000 in our new building this year!  What do you think?  Let’s work like it all depends on us, pray like it all depends on God, walk by faith, and trust God with the results!  Are you with me?

Friday’s 5:

  1. There is a WAVES (Student Ministry – 6th-12th Grade) House Party tonight at the church – 6pm-9pm!  There will be a bonfire, food, fun, and games (bring your video games)!
  2. The new semester of LIFE Groups has begun!  Go to our website, check out all the Groups, and sign up today!
  3. There is a Security Team Meeting at Coastal tomorrow morning, Saturday, February 20th at 10am.
  4. We need some 1st service people to volunteer to help pick up the Panera Bread on Sunday mornings at 7:30am and bring it to the church.  Write it on your Connect Card on Sunday or contact Ryan Spell at ryan@coastalcommunitychurch.org or 843-442-8985.
  5. We are wanting to plan a Baptism Service in our new building.  If you are interested in getting baptized, please let us know on your Connect Card.  We will keep you apprised as to the date when we get in the new building.

All In!  Love Can!  Game On!
