Breaking Free...From Attendance Barriers

Yesterday our church finally conquered an old nemesis...the 65 attendance barrier. We have broken this barrier and even reached 100 on several planned emphasis days (i.e. Friend Day), but had never broken 65 on a "normal" Sunday. Everything fell into place as 71 people attended worship yesterday. Now, I am learning not to knee-jerk react to days like this, just like I shouldn't jump off of Coopers Rock if we happen to have 40, but I am encouraged at how God is working through several people in our church. Yesterday, StoneBridgers picked up several hundred invite cards for our church's 3rd Birthday Bash and free movie to be held on November 5th. I am anticipating good things over the next several weeks.
