Encouraging 411

I sat in and played bass for the Ignite Band at our Ignite Students service last night. It was really awesome to see so many students authentically connecting with God during the worship time. Yes, they had fun before the service started. Some were playing basketball, some were listening to music, some were hanging out in "the loft", some were playing the Wii and some were just sitting in the big room talking with friends.

But when the service started and the music kicked off there were many students authentically connecting with God. It's hard to see that connection from the audience but standing on the stage I was able to see hands raised, eyes closed and students singing praises to their God. It was truly awesome.

I also heard yesterday that there were several kidz who gave their lives to Christ this past weekend in KidZone. You'll be hearing more about that in the coming days/weeks. However, I just want to reiterate that God is moving in the lives of people here at The Carpenter's and we can't even dream or imagine what He has in store for us.

If you've been encouraged by this glimpse of what God is doing at The Carpenter's, then forward this information to a friend and encourage them as well.
