When you have to buy new chairs…

What a great season we’ve been having at LifePoint so far this fall. I have to give God all the credit because He’s been leading more and more people to LifePoint and more and more people have been making LifePoint their home church. Each week we find ourselves in a situation where we have to buy more chairs! For those of you that are interested in stats, here are some of the numbers.

Average attendance August 2007: 160
Average attendance August 2008: 242

Average attendance September 2007: 168
Average attendance September 2008: 247

Average attendance October 2007: 170
Average attendance October 2008 (so far): 264

I think it’s so exciting to see new people every single Sunday – and many people are making decisions to follow Christ and be baptized. As a matter of fact, we baptized around 17 people in 2007, but this year so far we have baptized 26!

I’m excited to see what will happen for the rest of this year – and then 2009 will be awesome because we are planning some great things and praying about them like crazy.

    No – I didn’t have the time set correctly on my blog so it thought I was UTC time. It was off by 4 hours or something. It was only 11:57pm…only marginally better.
