This past week, we signed the necessary paperwork for leasing the Renaissance Movie Theater in Racine, WI. The timing couldn't have been better.

On Sunday, we passed the 1500 people mark for the first time. WE ARE COMPLETELY OUT OF SPACE. I honestly don't know how we're pulling off services anymore. Our massive volunteer force is implementing new things every week and I'm only hearing about them second hand. It is an exciting time for our faith family.

I've never claimed that anything we do at Great Lakes Church is EPIC... BETTER THAN... OR MORE OUTSTANDING than any other church or organization. It's not. Nothing we do is all that unique or impressive. What we do have is a whole bunch of people passionately committed to the vision of making the message of God's grace easy & accessible to as many people as possible.

Jesus is the hero of the story! 

Stats and stories can come across as arrogance. I realize that. But I also realize that on occasion we all need to be reminded that our prayers, hard work, ongoing commitments, and financial sacrifices are making a difference.

Let's enjoy the moment and not just talk about the past or the potential of the future. 

It's a fun season in the life of our church. And even if it wasn't... God would still be amazing!
