Great Job CSF Players!

We had many new guest join us yesterday! Why did they come? Because so many of you took your Christian responsibility serious and you asked your friends to "Come, see and meet the One who has changed my life!"

I have heard from many people all ready that they loved the theme for this series and they are very excited about what God will teach them over the next few Sundays! These are great days at CSF. Our attendance is higher than ever in our Home Teams, Service Teams, Sunday Services, Student and Children's Ministry. Our local mission teams are larger and really making a life-changing large impact and even our Sports Ministry is doing well with more basketball, volleyball and softball teams playing this spring than ever before.

The only thing that is not growing is our 9am and noon service....and we really need them to! Yesterday, during the 10:30 service, we ran out of parking and nursery space. Our 1-5th grade area was 15 kids over comfortable capacity. As you know, we will always make do in these areas. As Christians who attend CSF, we see the large crowds and even don't mind the crowded auditorium. However, many of our guests who are coming to CSF are not used to coming to church, and the experience of not having a parking spot, an over crowded or closed nursery and sitting cheek to cheek with a stranger is nothing they want to experience again.

I can only say this one way....we need CSF Players who are committed to the greater good of reaching people for Christ and who understand putting down your personal desires and comforts for others....to make a commitment to come to the 9am or noon service. As you know, we have kicked off our Expand Adventure and will be looking to add more parking and kids space but that is in the near future and not next Sunday.

Thanks in advance for helping CSF make a large impact on those who are unchurched and seeking.

Today's Bible Reading: Mark chapter 4

What kind of "seed" are you? Are you surrounding yourself with good soil so that you can grow? Are you doing your personal prayer and Bible time so that your roots can go deep into the ground? Have you weeded your life of things that will strangle your attempt at growing strong as a Player for Christ?

What person is ultimately responsible for your growth as Christian? YOU ARE!
At CSF we will provide all we can to help you. However, you must choose to reorient your life around the truth of God and plant your life in an area where it will flourish!
