1. The services went really well this weekend. The fall series, Disciple, is challenging a lot of people to give up being a "Christian" and start being a "Disciple." Unfortunately, we had a problem with our digital recording yesterday and I will need to rerecord the message in the studio this afternoon. It should be posted by late tonight.
2. Our attendance was off by about 30% yesterday due to a major stomach virus that is affecting our entire community. We've had half our staff get the virus too - myself included. I'll be praying for everyone to recover quickly. Don't forget to wash your hands regularly.
3. Over 100 new volunteers signed up to start serving in ministry in the past 2 weeks - 17 of which were in the children's ministry area. That's awesome.
4. Grammy Award winning artists, Take 6, is going to be with us for Christmas on December 1st. You don't want to miss this great opportunity to bring your unchurched friends to a cool Christmas concert where they can hear about Christ.
6. Results from our annual spiritual life survey are being compiled this week. I'm really interested in learning the results so that we can discover new and improved ways as a church to partner with you in your spiritual growth.
6. The pain from the Penn State loss on Saturday was eased by the Steeler's beating up on Cincinnati yesterday. Go Big Ben!
