Growing Pains

The last month we have been experiencing something new in our family. My youngest son has been in a great deal of pain on his right knee just below the knee cap. We often walk up to see him in tears because of the pain. We take him to the doctor and the only explaination they can give us is growing pains. He has grown a good bit. He must be growing faster than our older two because they never complained much about their growing pains. The doctors always say, "That's a great sign, he's growing."

Around LifeBridge we don't talk openly about numbers cause we know that the only people that get excited about that are the leaders who watch all that stuff. BUt do you know that every year we have had significant growth. You are investing and inviting and that is amazing. Over the last two weeks I have been able to walk around and see things that I do not normally get to see because of my teaching. This past weekend we had a big issue. I noticed that our front parking lot is full. So would some of you partners and regular attenders consider parking in the back to free up space in the front for our guest. Greeters, please help us direct some folks to the back.

This Sunday (Easter Sunday) we may also have a ton of guest. Please introduce yourself and show them why we are the friendliest church in town. Also, we may need you to give up your chair for someone new. Thanks in advance for doing that. See you Sunday. Let's keep experiencing Growing Pains.
