Pursuit @ Century Village Launch

Posted in Uncategorized on May 15, 2009 by bobgsmith

IMG_4785 On May 13th, we launched with 28 people attending the first service.  Linda lead some wonderful old hymns and I gave the message.

You can see our video projection on the wall.

Over half the folks are people we didn’t know. About 10 others said they will attend this coming week.

The lady on the right is Anita from the Pursuit @ Pembroke Pines.  She and her husband came over to help us launch. 

What a blessing!

As a young Christian I learned a poem that begins like this:

Pray don’t find fault – with the man who limps or stumbles along the road,

Unless you have wore the shoes he wears or struggled beneath his load.

As I have been preparing the message and slides this week for the service at Century, it’s really made me appreciate the effort that Matt & Alex put into the services at Pembroke Pines.

I’m blessed to work with these two men of God.  Thanks brothers!

Pursuit @ Century Village

This morning we finished putting up 177 fliers for the church service this week.  Had a few volunteers from the Pursuit @ Pembroke Pines.  One of them was Jaime Lopez.   I love Jaime!  He is growing in the Lord ‘like a weed’.   He was immersed last year and then spent the summer in Columbia.  On Thursday of this week, he helped Alex install our dvd projector on the ceiling of our worship center.  He is a wonderful man and a great family man.  He told me today, “I just love the Pursuit!”Synagogue3688

Of course my greatest support and helper was Linda!  She is a blessing.

Today I plotted out all of Century Village and six of us put up fliers on the bulletin boards of about 1/2 of the buildings in the complex.  Hope to finish that up on Saturday.

Have to get everything ready for the bulletins for next Wednesday to the Admin Ad tomorrow so she will have them ready. Oh yeah, got to get grape juice. 

Got our new business cards and logo.  I like it.

Yesterday, we had a run through for our first service on May 13th.   As you can see I’m ready, Linda’s ready and the room is ready. We’d like to ask you to join us in prayer:

1.  That people who to need to find their way back to God would attend.

2.  That all the ‘details’  would go smoothly.

3. That we raise up a group of volunteers.

4. For Century Pines Jewish Center who has allowed us to meet in their synagogue.

swallowing_bubble_gum Is this where the expression, “Blow it out your rear” came from?Or perhaps the inspiration for the song, “Tiny Bubbles.”  I saw this and just had to laugh out loud.
