Dear Coastal,
We kicked off a new series this past Sunday at Coastal called, “I Will” – not “I Could”, “I Might”, or “I Should”, but “I Will!” It’s all about taking action and making commitments in this new year that will lead toward our growth. Last week was, “I Will Reach My Friends for Christ.” This week is, “I Will Get Healthy.” Yes, we’re going to be talking about our physical health.
It’s been exactly 1 year since I’ve been on this health journey and although I’ve still got a long way to go, one thing I’ve learned is that the Bible definitely has a lot to say about our physical health. Join us this Sunday and make the commitment – “I Will Get Healthy in 2017!” No matter where you’re at, everyone has next steps to take. It’s all about small changes for life. We greatly overestimate what we can do in a week, but we underestimate what we can accomplish in a year.
Oh, and for a little extra fun, we’re giving away some fun health related stuff at the end of both of our services: a $50 gift card to Whole Foods, a brand new Fitbit Charge 2, and a FREE 6 month membership to Chucktown Fitness (my gym – the best gym in Charleston – and home away from home this past year!) that includes a Fitness Evaluation/Consultation, 1 Infinity Massage Session & 3 Ultimate Workout Classes!
Beginning this Sunday, you’ll see our “ONE” sign mounted in the auditorium as you enter and exit. We will be officially lighting the bulbs starting this week for the number of people who have given their lives to Christ so far this year through the ministry of our church! Keep praying! Keep serving! Keep loving! Keep inviting! And don’t forget – each one of us, praying once a day, for 1 minute, at 1pm, for 1 person – the Power of ONE!
Friday’s 5:
- Our wonderful Cafe needs volunteers! Each week at Coastal we give away A LOT of coffee and food! That means each week our wonderful volunteers set up, set out, make, put away, and clean up!
