Ok, a lot has happened since the last time I blogged.
We had our second person saved. It's a long story, but let me say that sometimes you should take those phone calls that come in late on a Saturday night.
We've started services. We had 79 at our first services with 16 from out of town and 63 from the Fayetteville area. The following weeks were 62, 66, and 72.
Last night we had a "Membership Banquet" (it sounds a lot more formal than it was). We baptized two and accepted 25 charter members. Things are going really well and it's exciting to be a part of this.
Our college ministry, "Thrive", has had some success. We met for a couple of weeks before our on-campus kick-off. We had 27 students at the kick-off and a pretty solid core group of students who attend every week. The really exciting part is that a lot of them have been attending our Sunday services, too.
We have about 16 kids from infant to 5th grade and two Jr. High students. Britt and I are starting a Small Group with them that will happen at the same time as their parents group. If anybody has any suggestions for Small Group material for Jr. High, send them to me.
That's about it on church stuff for the last couple of months. As far as personally, we have a new member of our family: Samson. He is a Cairn Terrier and a great dog. He doesn't whine, he's great with kids, and he's low maintenance.
Britt's job is still going well. She's on orientation right now, but hopefully will be off of orientation in time to help deliver one of our church members baby.
I'm still looking for the perfect part-time job with flexible hours and great pay. If you have any leads, let me know.
That's about it for the Hightower House. I'll try not to have such a long gap between this and my next blog.
