What an incredible day!

October 01, 2007 (posted by Dan)

The Grand Opening yesterday was beyond what I could have imagined! We had lots of new people. About 130 people were there! Our Upcounty Kids ministry was was full of children having fun, worshipping and learning a story from the Bible. The energy and excitement was something to experience. To see so many new people connect so readily with each other was a picture of a key part of what we want TCU to be. That was really encouraging!

At the beginning of the service, we had a simple meet and greet kind of time. It was great to see people laughing, talking loudly and just being friendly to others they just met. Then afterwards, the hallway was filled with people hanging around celebrating at our first Upcounty Reception.

The worship by Rental Space added to the environment and created a genuine sense of worship. They did the song Amazing Grace in a way that really set the tone for the the talk on A New Start. Our heart as a church is to help people go beyond just knowing things about the Bible to the place where the life that the Bible talks about happens naturally and freely within them.

Our current series on More Than Sunday will paint a picture of what a church community can be if we latch on to the vision of loving God and loving people as the main thing.

The whole day was a great experience! We’re grateful to God more than anything else.


Great time of praying

We had a great time of praying, dinner and just sharing as a team to get ready for our Grand Opening time. This is only the beginning. We’re so excited that God has called us to start a church like this in a diverse, changing community!

What a night!

Our first Family Night Out at Little Bennett Elementary School was really something. Over 100 people were there. We just wanted to create a fun night for families and admission was a donation of a canned good. The movie, open gym and the moon bounce were all big hits with kids and adults. It was great to meet so many new people from the Clarksburg community and also provide a place for people to connect with each other too. We’ll do it again soon!


Awesome Sunday

This past Sunday was really something. Lots of kids came from the Sports Camp. Mike and the Upcounty Kids Team put together a great time for the kids there too. Some new people came to check things out. As we get ready to go weekly, our hope and desire is to create a guest-friendly place for everyone - kids too!
