· During our series on Forgiveness we had the following number of decisions…
Forgive someone else 203
Forgive myself 35
Seek Forgiveness 35
TOTAL 273 (almost half of our adults!)
· We had a young girl take the spot of one of our staff on the youth camp CIY. Read her thank you note to the staff member…
"Thank you sooo much Kina!!!! I just wanted to thank you and all the girls for
making me feel comfortable and accepting me with open arms!! I am so happy to be
getting involved! I can't wait to talk to you about CIY and I just wanted you to
know that God took you not being able to go and used that to CHANGE MY LIFE!!!
thank you for everything!!! :)"(Smiley face is not mine!)
· Children are at home reciting to their parents what forgiveness means and singing and dancing to the songs from “Go Orange”. Parents are asking for forgiveness buckets for themselves. (Had to be here to understand that last sentence.)
· The Garden of Gethsemane Homeless shelter (formerly known as Rainbow) dedicated one of their buildings to Eastridge naming it the Eastridge Building. Why? Because several believers went and served in the name of Jesus so others would have shelter during tough times in their lives.
· Celebrate Recovery had 190 people on Thursday night. Did you know our Celebrate Recovery is 1 0f 15,000 in the United states. It is the largest in the Southeast and is in the top 12 largest in the country. Every week people have the opportunity to find hope and freedom in Jesus Christ…and very few people in Covington even know about it. ( We will be changing that in the fall…more to come later this week on that.)
· In the past 6 weeks 5 adults have given their lives to Jesus Christ and 16 more recommitted.
I share all of this to say this: Celebrate with us! Give God praise for the changes He is making in the lives of people! Make no mistake about it…He and He alone receives all the praise and all the glory for what is happening in His Church.
Praising God,
Scott
