September 28 - Toccoa Campus Launches!!!!!

Foothills Toccoa has it's first services this Sunday!  Service times are 9:30 and 11:00.  I am convinced that God is going to do incredible things at this campus and I can't wait to have a front row seat to see God's redeeming, healing power become real in this community.

For the core team - You guys are awesome!  I love everyone of you.  I love your dedication to this campus and most of all your dedication to God and his movement in your lives.  Let's all bring our "A" game this week!  Everyone is a greeter!  Everyone is looking to make this Sunday morning experience that our guests have ever experienced!

Saturday we are setting up the auditorium starting at 8:00am....if you can help please be there.

Sunday we will begin about 7:30.  At the very latest, volunteers need to be in place by 9:00....but lets get there as early as we can......if you are like me you probably won't sleep Saturday night anyway!!!!

Play Hard

Stay Focused

Honor God

Dedication Recap

Last Saturday we had an incredible time at the Osborne Gym.  We were led in worship by David Odom and Dan Westmoreland.  It was great...worshiping together as a group for the first time was something I will remember for a very long time.  It was very special.  Then I shared some about what we have been called to do in Toccoa and how we have an incredible opportunity to reach the people of Stephens County.  Then we wrote names of people that we hope to come to the Gym and begin a relationship with Jesus.  It was so cool.....a great night.  

What is going to happen on Sunday 14th?

Sunday the 14th has been scheduled to be our first preview...but what is that going to look like?  It turns out that it is going to be more of logistical practice than anything.  We are going to start setting up at 8:00am.  We need EVERYONE to be there for this....whether you are part of the setup/breakdown crews or not.  I think it is important for everyone to understand what goes into setting up the different areas....whether it is the auditorium or the kidz areas or the lobby.  Once we are setup, about 11:00, the teams will breakup into their areas and work through a typical Sunday, noting things that may have been missed, brainstorming on how best to solve unseen problems, and verify that their areas are technically functional.

We won't have a band this week and we probably won't have an actual message video....but we will verify that equipment is functioning correctly.  Children's areas will go through their lesson for the week to figure out if there is anything they need to do differently, etc.

There are going to be lots of questions, it may feel chaotic at times, but we have to go through this process to flush out the details.  Direct your questions to your team leaders....team leaders can address questions to me that they don't know the answers to.

Hang tough this week....the work will be worth it, trust me!

Workday this Saturday!

Hey everyone!  We are having a workday at the Gym at Osbornes this coming Saturday.  We will be getting started about 8:00am.  What will we be doing?  We will be building platforms for the tech booths, projector pedestals, hanging projector and screens for planet kidz, working on soundproofing for discovery kidz, assembling projection equipment, etc.  There is ALOT  to be done!  If you can make it....please come.  It is going to be a great time of fun, fellowship, and good old fashion sweat!
