The last Sunday as Southwood Hills Church for me and people in Mansfield, Ohio was last Sunday, Sept. 27th, 2009. It was a great service and many people said positive things about our past and even better hopes for our future. I'm very glad to be apart of what God is doing in Mansfield, Ohio!
I went to the Forum this week too. It's an annual event the Ohio Ministry Network puts together to provide continued education and special services for pastors in Ohio. The evening services were great and it's always good to see so many friends. It was awesome.
Tomorrow and Friday we prepare for our first VeloCity Church service. I'm so excited about the soft launch of VeloCity Church. Saturday nights will be important for us to maintain momentum going into next Easter Sunday. On Easter Sunday 2010 we go to our Cook Rd. property as VeloCity Church!
VeloCity Church start up plan:
This Sat: We start Soft Launch of VeloCity; meet every Sat. evening
April 4th, 2010 Easter Sunday: Hard Launch for VeloCity; Sunday's on Cook Rd.
Fall of 2010: Grand Opening for VeloCity Church; Sunday's and beyond
Stay tuned... we're moving onward!
I can understand why so many were tearful and a bit sad to say goodbye. But all I felt was a little nostalgia and a ton of excitement for the work the Lord is doing.
