Well the long anticipated and planned for and prayed for kickoff to the CORE series at church happened on March 8th. Kate came, she spoke, she signed books, she left, and all in all the day was a great success. There were tons of people who came to see her speak and hopefully were able to find a church that prays for, plans for, and seeks out the lost in and around our community. Although I was very excited about seeing Kate and thought that her message was one that related to many if not all that were there, the main highlights of the weekend for me were the hundreds of FCC folks who turned out all weekend (morning - very early in the morning, day - all day Saturday, and all through the night - in the tent) to make sure things ran smoothly and to make sure that people who came to visit that Sunday would find a church that works together and makes things happen...no matter how big the job...the other highlight was meeting the mother of a J&K+8 fan who had hoped to be able to come see Kate, but passed away in January from ovarian cancer. This mother was kind enough to share her story in an introduction video for Kate and touched many with her story of faith even in the loss of her daughter. God is doing amazing things at First Christian and we are thankful for all he is blessing us with!
