Sunday update

• Went to Watermarke Church Sunday morning. Watermarke is a "strategic partner" of Northpoint Community Church where Andy Stanley is the Pastor. My daughter, Rachele, and her family attends there and it is also where Joe is working. The unique thing about these partnerships is that Andy Stanley is the Teaching Pastor via video. Live worship band, excellenet children's ministry, great youth ministry, creative elements, up-to-date technology and you get to hear Andy too. Andy is one of my favorite speakers so it was atreat to hear him.
• Rachele led the worship and did a great job. It has been a while since I've heard her sing and it was good to hear her beautiful voice and remember the talent God has given her and to hear her heart as she shared more than just song during the worship.
• It was cool to see the work that Joe does also. And it was easy to see the creative elements that Joe Stag was bringing to their staging.
• Went to lunch with Bob and Monica. We are talking about ministry opportunities that may be available to us while we are waiting to move to Denver.
• Went to an ordination service Sunday night at First Baptist-Canton for Alan Putnam. Alan was in my early youth ministry at Hopewell and became a leader there. His wife, Courtney, was saved through our youth ministry and it is where they met and married. It has been a blessing to see them both mature, earn degrees, and hear of their ministries in Austin , TX. They are also expecting their first child. I am very proud of both of them.
• Everyone is coming over for cake tonight for Pattie's birthday. I love my wife and look forward to celebrating her with family and friends.
