Momentum

Momentum is a great thing to have on your side, especially in the early life of the church. I realize that there is an ebb-n-flow with how things will go down the road, but for now the momentum is going strong and I feel like there is another swell of it about to burst, coming just around the corner. Well I should say I know there is.
You see we are about to add a new dynamic to the adult service with Overflow. When we first launched back on 3/16/08, we felt that we were unable to make this happen, mainly cause of the lack of volunteers starting out. We probably could have made it happen, but we are committed to excellence and didn't feel like it would be the right time or manner in which to do what we are about to do starting Mother's Day.
Starting 5/11/08 "Mother's Day" all the "mothers" for the first time will be able to enjoy there kids with them during our worship part of the service. We have always envisioned the families praising and worshipping God together, sharing with one another that time of intimate worship with our Almighty Creator, we just didn't have the volunteers and/or maybe the plan in place once we launched. Plus the KidMo and Lil'K cirriculum that we are using provides a worship time geared towards the kids. However with that being said we decided as a team last week that this would do a couple of different things for us. One being the obvious and already stated, family worship time, second being that this would add even more momentum in the adult service and the people with out children will see that there actually are kids attending SPLASH (our children's min)...
I'm really excited personally to be in the adult worship time, plus it will be good for all the volunteers as well. This is just for the preschool and 1st-5th rooms, the nursery will be open the entire service. I'm also thinking about the families all being together, learning, growing and understanding more about what it means to priase God who is worthy of all our praise!
