2 Years Later

We are coming up on the 2 year anniversary of the largest natural disaster in the history of the US. As I ponder, my curiosity is peaked. What would Gulf Coast Worship Center look like if that had never happened? Would you even be a part of Gulf Coast Worship Center today? Would the launching of the "Extreme Church Makeover" that we were involved in at the time of the storm made an impact? The new youth room was being renovated, but a week before 200 students were expected to be in the youth service for the launch of the new identity, it happened. How would that ministry be different? Then their is the staff. Since then some have come and gone, but we believe that Pastor Jeremiah is great addition to the team. What does all this mean?

From our perspective it means that the greatest days are still ahead. We have more going for us today than ever before. The best staff we have ever had. A board of directors that is unified, patient, loving, and has the best interest of all of us at heart. We have a fresh vision as to where God is taking us. Never before have I personally seen more things happening behind the scenes. I just met yesterday with interest group leaders for the fall. Seven interest groups will launch the end of August, and you don't want to miss the "Interest Group Fair." Where you can eat stuff and win stuff. Pastor Jeremiah is working hard at connecting and bonding all of us together in new and creative ways. Our cafe' has been a huge hit. We really are excited.

The one thought we want you to take from today is that you are an important part. Our prayer is that God will bless you today. Make you strong. Bond your family. In hopes that you can make a difference for Him.
