I’d love to hear about who you’re inviting to our Big Day on Sunday, September 16th (respond to this email with their names). The week before the Big Day, we’re going to be mailing out a large postcard to all of West Ashley, James Island, and Johns Island – over 70,000 homes! Please pray that the card will reach just the right people and that God will prepare the hearts of the people receiving it. And this is important. To make room for all of your friends and everyone we’re inviting, we’re changing our service times and adding a 3rd service just for that Sunday. Our service times for Sunday, September 16th will be 8:30am, 10am, & 11:30am! We’ll go back to our current service times the following week. But I’ll be honest with you – I can’t wait until we HAVE to go to 3 services because of the growth of our church!
Pastor Chris
