Yesterday was a great day

Yesterday was a great day on so many different levels. Our worship team just keeps getting better and better! You guys are awesome! You're gifted, authentic and you do what you do primarily for an audience of One - thanks for leading the rest of us to do the same! Our children moved into their new classrooms, which look absolutely amazing thanks to the diligent work of so many. You dedicated servants know who you are - thank you and may your tribe increase!

We were back in the afternoon for Katie and Shawn's wedding shower. We love you both and are looking forward to June 23! Following the Financial Peace Seminar, Laurie and I drove down to Raleigh-Durham to pick Sarah up at the airport. It's good to have her home for a couple of weeks. I'm looking forward to drinking way too much coffee together!

Sarah's flight was delayed so we didn't end up getting home until midnight. I had an email waiting on me from one our cell group leaders. He said that they had a great time of discussion, with everybody sharing some of their "DTR" times in their walk with God. He was pumped about how encouraging the group was and ended the email by saying, "God is at work in our lives and it is so incredible and amazing to reflect upon." Needless to say, I was pumped!

But the highlight of the day (after hugging my daughter at the airport of course!), was getting to announce that Tim will be coming on full time, beginning in July! I am so excited! As I shared yesterday, Tim and Tonya both are passionate about serving Christ. They love serving your kids, they are consumed about reaching out to our community, and they are absolutely stoked about what God is doing in our Christ's Church family.

Thank you for affirming them yesterday with your spontaneous applause. That was very moving and appreciated, as are all of you! Tim will continue to serve as our youth pastor, leading our student and children's ministries. Tim, I love you, brother and, while you've been "on board" for quite some time, it gives me great joy to say, "Welcome aboard full time!"
