new member class

Last night I attended the new connections class. Every other month this class is held for the purpose of helping new folks prepare for church membership. About 40 people attended. The class was awesome. In the course of a couple of hours I got a complete overview of your church. It was so exciting to see all of the things that are going on.

It was also wonderful to see the new people and their enthusiasm for the church. And they want to join a church that is in a building campaign!

As challenging as life can be from time to time, it is nice to gather with God's people. I am so encouraged when I go to church and hang out with you guys. There is a healing ointment when people of God get together. I hope you feel it too.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

You, others on your staff, and volunteers did a great job last night. The one night approach to this class is attracting participants who couldn't get it together with the idea of coming for eight weeks. Good stuff happening.

God has gifted you, Jeff, with an awesome communication abilitiy. This kind of giftedness at both verbal and non-verbal communication is rare.
