Big Baby!

What a great Sunday we had yesterday! The Green Light message was a great way to end a very good series. We are set and ready for Easter coming this coming Sunday.

However, it was the end of the second service that I really liked. I walked by the Crisis Pregnancy Center display that we had put in the information kiosk area and noticed that there were only about 15 bottles left. As you know, this is our 5th service project out of 10 for our anniversary. We are asking people to fill these baby bottles with change and then return it to our display at the church. At the end of this month we will take the filled bottles back to the center. Yesterday we filled the crib with 400 baby bottles. Again, after only one Sunday.....all but 15 were gone. We will get more for next week!

We chose the Crisis Pregnancy Center because of the great work they do fro unwed ladies who find themselves unexpectedly pregnant and in crisis mode. Too many times the church in America speaks out against abortion but does not do anything to help in the time of crisis. We don't want to be a church that stands against something, yet does not offer solutions and help. Our new Presidential administration supports abortion and is giving federal aid to support it here and in other countries. Like no other time we must help support agencies that will give moms a better option.

I can't wait until the day that Team Church will have a Crisis Pregnancy Center and Adoption support system on our campus. The need is great and will now only get greater! Great job Team Church!

Don't forget to pass out the Uncommon Easter cards and to use our website to invite people this Sunday to Easter!
