On Saturday, February 6 we are going to get together to fellowship and do a little spring cleaning at the North Campus. There are many minor jobs we can accomplish together in just a few hours.

• Power wash the front of the building
• Dust all the doors and trim
• Mop the foyer
• Mop the worship center
• Clean all the windows
• Scrub all bathroom floors and apply sealer/finish
• Cut the grass in back if it’s warm and dry enough
• Steam clean all the carpets

We’ll work from around 8:30 am to probably no later than 11:00 am. Feel free to bring the kids; they can help. I don’t have anybody to watch little ones or bed babies, but older kids can help dust, sweep and wash windows.

Feel free to call me (Luke Grayson at 417-499-3849) or Aaron Peters…

Well once again let me say “WOW!” Yes, it was a wonderful first weekend at North Campus. Thank you again for all of you who prayed, worked and invited. The greatest part of launching our campus is that we now get to do it every weekend. Below are a couple of reminders for each of us this weekend.

• Be in your spots early. We want to make sure and be prepared before our guests arrive. Talk to your team leader about when exactly they want you in your spot.
• Park in the back or away from the main doors. Our parking lot team will have a few of you park closer to the entry ways so that it looks like we have a crowd but if they don’t ask you then go ahead and park farther away.
• Be intentional about greeting people you do not know. The best conversation starter…

Wow, what a weekend! Thank you all for your hard work, prayers and support for the Forest Park North Campus launch. This weekend was truly amazing. We had a total of 768 in attendance with at least 6 decisions for Christ! Way to go!

Everyone did such a great job of welcoming our guests—from the parking lot all the way to the Auditorium and in-between. I loved seeing you investing in new people this weekend. It was truly wonderful to see you all “get it.” It is not about “us;” it is all about “Him,” and sharing our heart with “them!” Keep praying, keep inviting, and we will continue to see God work in mighty ways.

Below are some pictures from the weekend. See you next week!

Saturday Night - 9/12/09

Wow! Sheri and I decided to have some Woody’s BBQ for lunch today. After some yummy smoked turkey, we dropped by North Campus to check out the progress. It’s simply amazing! Only our great God could get so much done so quickly with such excellence!

I’m very thankful for all of you who are praying, serving, and inviting. North Campus is going to see a lot of people’s lives changed…and you will know that you were part of it from the beginning. How exciting! Or maybe it’s more relevant to say, “SHAZAM!”

I love you all,
-Pastor John
