Sunday Recap, 12,6.09 - Awesome Weekend!
Launching New ChurchesThe busiest but most awesome weekend to date at OneLife.
- Saturday was crazy for us. We spent the morning hauling a portable baptistry to the high school AND assembling the new stage set.
- Then it was time to get the parade float ready. Somehow they fit 4 speakers, two subs, amps, a sound board, AND sound man Tyler on the back of a truck. Then the entire band on a trailer.
- Gotta say, we were a fun float!
- The band played "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" - very spiritual

- We threw TONS of candy and passed out hundreds of info cards about the Christmas series and Christmas Eve Service.
- Check out PowellChristmas.com for more info.
- Sunday morning was nothing short of a miracle from God. We baptized 6 people, 5 others prayed to receive Christ, and there were 250 in attendance.
- Our previous high attendance was 166.
- Jumping nearly 90 people in a week is not normal nor something we can make happen. It's all God!
- At first our lack of faith said "It's just baptism families." But there weren't 90 baptism family members there!
- Unfortunately it was our last Sunday with college students until January. Really going to miss them!
- After the service was over and torn down, it was time to get ready for our first OneLife Christmas Appreication Party.
- This was our gift back to all those who volunteer, give sacrificially, and invite their friends and family. These people make it happen!
- The food was AWESOME! Fried chicken, ribs, mac and cheese, brocolli casserole, green beans, mashed taters, rolls, banana pudding, cherry cobbler and SWEET tea.
- We also started a Christmas tradition for our volunteers - a OneLife Christmas ornament.
- I know I'll always cherish mine! It says "Our first Christmas..."
- Can't wait for week two of our Christmas series this Sunday!
