What a Sunday!

-We had the largest regular service attendance in emc's 2 year history. As we approach 200 in attendance on Sunday mornings we are beginning to look to the future for how we can create space to handle 300-500 people on Sunday mornings. Emc-ers please pray for your leaders as we begin to look at solutions that will help make healthy growth possible over the next few months and into the end of 08.

-My mind goes back to our first series of the year..."Epic 08". Truly the first quarter of 08 has measured up to be an epic three months. Emc-ers enjoy being part of what God is doing in this "story of unfolding greatness". God is authoring an epic tale and we have front row seats...no we all together are key characters in His story for our lives, church, and city!

-EMC I'm loving being your pastor!

-Our three big announcements:

#1 Echo Students will begin to meet at the Jaycees club house on Rope Mill Road on April 16th. The youth have had a great time while meeting at Lindsay's house but they have outgrown the environment. Echo, enjoy your new location as you continue to reach your generation.

#2 We have a place that is ours 7 days a week! The new creative offices of embassy metro church are now located above the Woodstock Pharmacy in downtown Woodstock.

#3 The biggest announcement of the day is that we brought our worship/media pastor on full time. I am so stoked about Jared being full time. It was too cool that we made the announcement today because today is Jared's B-day. Happy birthday bro...now get back to work!

Embassy, we are in exciting times. Remember as we grow, acquire facilities, hire staff, and do all the other things that a thriving movement does, don't forget that it isn't about any of those things. What it's all about is Jesus, helping people find him, helping them become fully devoted followers of Christ, and watching Jesus change their lives forever!
