Amazing evening with our COC Metro Family

We are truely blessed from God, I see that everytime I walk into our church. COC has an amazing pastor and I love seeing how God is blessing him, his family and the church. All the other pastor as well... Brian, Kaleb, John, Kelso, Dane (they are all amazing and so are their families that support them).

Our church has been asked if we are on board and ready to go to 11. Think about it most things go to a 10. We are wanting to push it to the next level and go to an 11, on everything we do. Just go one more notch.

Colossians 3:16-17
16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. 17And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

We Serve the best, The Lord Almighty

Hebrew 10:24-25
24And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. 25Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

2 Timothy 2:1-2
1You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others.

God said we are going to be blessed and we have been blessed.
We have a blessed God who has blessed his people to be a blessing to all those around us.

Genesis 12:1-3
1 The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you.
2 "I will make you into a great nation
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.

3 I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you."


God has called COC Metro to take over and dominate the 380 Corridor.

So we were given a challenge, a 11 week challenge. We had a growth spurt of 182% and our giving of onl 8%, so today everyone answered the challenge and it's amazing what God is going to do and is already doing. The answer was over $30,000 over the 11 week challenge!!!

Then today we had our Family Picnic and Baptizm at the Lake. There was over 200+ people (our extended and amazing church family). What a great and fun way to spend the evening laughing, talking and fellowship together and getting to know those we don't already know. And when it was time for the Baptizing we had some who we all knew that were going to get baptized and then some that right then and there chose to accept Christ as their Savior. So after it all there was 13 people who were baptized in the lake...
