Random Thoughts
1) Congrats to Tony & Michelle Peterson on the birth of their baby girl... Claire Elaine Peterson!
2) I can't wait for Sunday. I really believe that we'll see lots of healing in marriages throughout this series.
3) We're very aware of how crowded our auditoriums are getting at the 10:30 am gathering. I promise that our leadership team has met multiple times about this and is currently working on a solution.
4) Here is the first "heads up" about a new change that is going to be implemented in a few weeks. Starting the first Sunday of March, we will no longer be allowing kids under 6 years old in our adult auditorium (this may change to kids 5th grade and under). The reason for this "blanket rule" is pretty simple... the more Great Lakes Church has grown, the more distractions we've had by kids. After spending countless hours preparing a talk, setting up for our service, getting the music team in sync, etc... we want to make sure we present the best experience possible for adults AND kids. That being said, if you don't currently leave your children in one of our kid's programs I'm asking that you begin doing so right away. This is a HUGE help and will actually make more seats available in the adult auditoriums.
5) Please take at least 5 minutes today and join me in praying for Great Lakes Church... that we would continue to stay laser focused on making it easy for people to find and follow Jesus Christ! The longer a church exists, the easier it is to be come distracted from this mission. May God help us always remember that Great Lakes Church does not exist for "church people"!!!! We are a church that exists for the 70% of people in our area who do not go to church.
