This was a crazy weekend! Ups, downs, and everything in-between.

I hope that you had a chance to come to church this weekend because we got our first peek at Brian Duncan our new campus pastor in Kannapolis. He did a great job bringing the message! I am a little worried that he is better than me… better get on my game.

The baptism was great too. It was really special to see all of them make the commitment to follow Christ in baptism. We had a really neat thing happen too, an entire family getting baptized at the same time. Drew, Alesia, and Korbynne Hill all decided to be baptized at the same time. First Drew was baptized, then he helped baptize Alesia, then he and Alesia baptized Korbynne. That was so cool!

I am really pumped about this Fireproof series we are about to start, our church needs a marriage series like no one’s business right now. That is the single biggest area I see Satan attacking our church in right now in my opinion.

I don’t know if you realize this, but I get to make a lot of the graphics for our church and most of the transition videos we use for each series. I am using a couple of new techniques and I think this video is going to be great. Everyone knows I am a nerd, but I really get excited about stuff like this. I guess that makes me weird, but you know what the scripture says… we are all a part of the body and each part has a different role. I guess my role is being a nerd… and that’s okay with me!
