I have never experienced anything like Sunday morning's service. It was absolutely amazing, overwhelming, exciting and so much more! We had one service, rather than our regular two. The kids stayed in the service so it was packed. The worship team always goes and prays prior to going on the stage and we did this. In the prayer room Pastor Pat explained how it would start and we ended up singing together and then cheering (sounds silly but it wasn't). Then we went out into the sanctuary.

You have to understand what was happening. Prior to this we had had the ribbon cutting ceremony and people had been milling about and visiting. It was fun. But when we came out of the prayer room and started up the stages of the platform for the first time...I can't even explain the emotions.

The crowd actually started cheering. We started cheering too as it was not an applause for us but simply to praise God for what He has done.

Pastor Pat opened us up with a few words and Kelly started us off in a song. Then we worshipped. It was amazing.

Pastor Pat taught a short teaching and then we closed in worship as well. It was the most awesome service I have ever had the honor of being a part of.

We are in. It seems so unreal but we finally have our own place. It means so much to our little congregation but even more so to those of us in leadership who have been working so hard to get it done.

Praise God for His awesome provision!!!
