SUMMER HIGH

With two weeks to go to our public launch in Ronkonkoma, we actually had our second service at Regal Cinemas there this morning.

Even before our ads hit the papers this week, our thousands of flyers are distributed next weekend and our onscreen advertising starts Friday, today we had the biggest summer crowd we have ever had.

It was a great morning - the buzz is unbelievable. This fall will be phenomenal.

Two things are becoming very apparent -

1. We will be filling Theater 5 before October comes around.
This leaves us with a couple of options - having a live video feed into another theater or going to two services. Not convinced yet which way to go, but we need to make a decision on that pretty soon and start gearing up for whichever way we decide to go.

2. Our influence needs to spread.
I talked to a great young couple from Aquabogue who were with us today. A couple in our church had been trying to get them to come for ever and today their prayers were answered. They loved it and their first question to me was - Do you have a church like this out our way? That's a fair request for a family who drove 30 miles to get over to us. My answer was two words - Not yet!

For more than a year now I have been convinced that what God has done through us in Central Suffolk is not a one-off, but rather it is a model he wants to be reproduced. I don't know all the nuts and bolts. I do not have all the answers - heck, I haven't even got the questions, but I do know that the best way to reach the unchurched is to go where they are.

Church At The Movies - Ronkonkoma needs to have siblings.

Great days ahead!
