The Branches First Public Service

We had our first public worship service last Sunday (1/9/11). I think we all walked away from service Sunday feeling very blessed. There was excitement in the air and we were glad to see so many people show up to our first service [we had an attendance of 86]. Everything went very very smoothly. We have a few minor things that we can work on for the upcoming preview services, but overall I was really impressed with how well everything went.

We had a large number of guests from Round Table Pizza (where James and I work) and it was great to see so many of our friends there. We had an added blessing of having one of the pastors from Brookville Road Community Church join us. Andy Flink just happened to be in California for a couple of weeks taking classes at Talbot and was able to catch a train down toward Escondido; it was great having Andy lend a hand and get to experience our first service. Our launch team did a great job of getting everything set up and everyone who took part in the worship service did fantastic! Everyone gave their best for the Lord and I believe He was pleased.

Thank you all for your prayers they mean so much to us. Please continue to pray that this young church will be a blessing to the community of Escondido for the glory of God.

Our next preview service will be Sunday February 6th.
