Miracles

Easter is Coming!

Wow! It is MARCH, and we got our brand-new mini-series kicked off this past Sunday! This will be a good series to be in for a few weeks, and we find Jesus doing a full-court press with miracle after miracle that are very important. This series is also important, because it will take us all the way up to EASTER, which is just a five Sundays away!



Speaking of Easter... You know, that is a really big deal for us. It is the holiest of holy days for all believers, and we want to treat it right. We’ve already begun to pray and to talk about what that morning will look like at The Orchard Church, and we know that God will show up in a big way! BUT, we also have a bunch of other stuff that we need to get on top of! We will most likely have a record attendance that day... Where will we put all those people? We’re already feeling pretty full in both services! Should we add a third service for that morning? What about video projection in the other theater? Would that just be awful? Will the parking lot be able to handle all the cars? Should we offer nursery and preschool in TWO hours? What about the already crowded lobby? How will we get 200+ people through there? I know, I know. Easter is about GOD and the incredible miracle of redemption because of his blood. BUT, we DO have to plan for everyone to get together and celebrate, too... And there is an awful lot of planning to do! Do you have any good suggestions about it? email me!

Children's Ministry

This is a long story, but I will try to keep it short.

God is blessing. Our lands are increasing.

We have had a plan for children’s ministry in the movie theater for quite a while now. Our plan stinks, and we know it. The theater is a terrible place to have children rolling around on the floor. It just wasn’t built to accommodate that.

So we prayed. We knew that God would be working SOMETHING out.

Suddenly, as of this weekend, GOD has worked it out that we are “sharing” space with the Movie Theater’s next-door neighbors, the ERA Realty. They have LOTS of space in their offices that they are not using, and NOW we have GREAT rooms for babies and preschool. In fact, we will start out with a smallish preschool room that we will likely very soon be able to EXPAND and grow!

NOW our children will have some space to be loved and cared for! It is awesome what God is up to!
