All Gone

Last night I had the opportunity to have great seats at the Panther game. It was another phenomenal game to watch and the Panthers are looking good. I also noticed that the Panthers did their annual "Toys For Tots" with the Marines. They announced over the loud speaker that a little over 5,000 toys had been brought by the Panther Nation. The Crowd last night was over 70,000 people.

Once they announced the amount of gifts I began to think about those percentages in comparison to what our church has once again supplied for the kids at Walter Bickett. Every year we purchase 700 hundred gifts for every Kindergarten through 5th grade student at the school. That is amazing and shows the true mission minded value we have here at Team Church. (Not just church.....Team Church) Moreover, our Red Cross volunteer was shocked at the multiple pages that were filled out yesterday with names of people who said they would come on January 13th for our "On-Site" blood drive. Giving to others is in our DNA and is our life blood as a church...HA HA

It is this kind of "community impact" that has always been in out DNA as a Church.....that has led us to decided to celebrate our 10 year anniversary in a very unique way. We are going to celebrate all year long and are going to do so with 10 different community impact service opportunities. We are hoping to have one or two a month concluding with a huge church event in July! More details to come....

We are calling it our 10 Year Anniversary Service Tour! Places, Times and Dates TBA in January!
