Wow! Wow! Wow! That is about the best summary of last night’s One Night celebration that I can think of. If you were there, I hope you know what I am talking about. If you missed it, I am so sorry that you did. We had a great evening of celebration through music, child dedication, communion and baptism as well as an awesome charge from Rick Faulkner, the executive pastor for the Matthews campus, that was both encouraging and exciting.

We have come a long way here in Kershaw since God started this thing last year. It is very cool to see how God grows His plans for us. I know that I have forged some relationships here in Kershaw that I will carry with me the rest of my life no matter where I end up.

But the thing that I thought was so cool was the way when the scheduled time for service ended, we did not leave. We were a group determined to spend time together. We hung out. We laughed, we cried, we prayed, and we loved. I love being with you folks. It makes me joyful. And I know that the relationships that we form are what God wants for us. He likes seeing us this way.

I am so excited about seeing you this Sunday. Please, please, please be there and be ready to spread some more of that love.

On the Journey with You,
Scott
