Well, it is finally here. This Saturday and Sunday we will be launching our North Campus! Please be praying this week that all of the final preparations are completed and that God would do a great work through all of us at North Campus.

Make sure and talk to your team leader this week about when and where you will need to be for the weekend. If you do not have a team yet, please let me know.

We still have plenty of invitations at the campus for you to hand out, so come on by sometime and pick some up. We also need a lot of cleaning done this week, so if you are available come on by and start cleaning.

I can’t wait until Saturday and Sunday! See you this weekend.

Clean Up
We have lots to do at the North Campus today. If you have any time available come by, we need to clean, set up chairs, etc.

College Pool Party
We are hosting a pool party for the college students at the Towery’s today from 1-4:00 pm. Contact me or the Towery’s for more information or directions. College students, bring your friends and come have some fun, food, and a chance to win an iPod Touch!

Sunday’s Preview Service
Tomorrow (Sunday, August 30) is our last preview service. We will again have services at 9:30 and 11:00 am. The Saturday team will serve first hour and worship second hour, and the Sunday team will worship first hour and serve second hour. This is our last practice run before our launch on September 12 and 13, so let’s try and all be in our place and take…

We have a busy week at the North Campus. Below are some items you can be praying for as well as helping with this week.

Neighborhood Blitz
A special thank you to all of you who helped with the neighborhood blitz this weekend. I am hearing great stories about contacts that were made! If you were not able to come out this weekend, it is not too late. We have a lot of cards that can be handed out. Send me an email, or simply come by the campus to pick up some cards to hand out.

Preview Service #2
Next Sunday (August 30) will be our second and last preview service. We will once again have services at 9:30 and 11:00 am. The Saturday team will serve first hour and worship second hour, and the Sunday team will worship first hour and serve second hour. If you…

Wow! Sheri and I decided to have some Woody’s BBQ for lunch today. After some yummy smoked turkey, we dropped by North Campus to check out the progress. It’s simply amazing! Only our great God could get so much done so quickly with such excellence!

I’m very thankful for all of you who are praying, serving, and inviting. North Campus is going to see a lot of people’s lives changed…and you will know that you were part of it from the beginning. How exciting! Or maybe it’s more relevant to say, “SHAZAM!”

I love you all,
-Pastor John

Tomorrow (Saturday, August 22) at 10:00 am we will meet at the North Campus to “Blitz” our surrounding neighborhoods. What is a “Blitz?” Simply put, we are going to divide into groups and go to several neighborhoods around our campus handing out invitations to our launch.

We have the handouts. We have the maps. Now all we need is the foot power! This is a great event for the whole family to do together.

We will meet at the North Campus at 10:00 am and leave as soon as we can get the teams together. Eric Gilbert will be leading the charge for the “Blitz,” and we will also have some more cleaning/painting/work opportunities at the campus.

Hope to see a bunch of you guys tomorrow (Saturday) morning! We have a lot of things to do to get ready for our first preview service Sunday morning. We will start around 8:30 am and will be cleaning, putting things together, and getting everything ready for the next day.
