So we are at week six for norte church. Things are starting to come together. We had our biggest sunday so far;10. It is cool to start to see some of the people that will be making up this church body. Four couples are bi-racial. By that i mean a hispanic and another race. I believe a big portion of our church will be composed of people that fit that description.
Worship was cool this week. It is soooo different when there are more than three people in the seats. I felt like i didn't have to try to encourage people to participate. That is good.
So the next few months we will be focusing on promoting two services that are coming up one in jan. and one in feb. and our new launch date; Easter sunday!
As far as preaching goes i am getting a little more comfortable every sunday preaching and praying in spanish. Because we are a bilingual church i try to do a lot of stuff in both languages. It is pretty interesting how that is working out. People are responding positively so i guess i am doing that well. As i get better at speaking off the page i feel like i get a better responce from people.
I started off my service this week with a disclaimer where i basically said please forgive me for my spanish which stinks. Isn't that a line from a movie? Anyway they just laughed with me... not at me, of course.
Well today it reached into the seventies so i won't be needing to shovel the driveway. Sorry i know back east you guys just had a terrible storm. Thanks for the pics.
Peace
