Weekend Summary

What a weekend we had at Galena Assembly.  I was so proud of the volunteers who gave up time, resources, and energy to make it such a success.  We don't have definite numbers yet but we know that for the Saturday night Sanctus Real concert we had over a thousand people in attendance.  It was amazing to see all those people in the building.  We had an email from a guy in Neosho Missouri who said that his experience exceeded his expectations and that we have a beautiful facility.

On Sunday morning we had the highest attended service of the year and the second highest since we came go Galena.  We also had another miracle take place last week for the church that I cannot share all the details on yet but it is evident that God's hand is blessing us and moving us forward.

Exciting things are happening at Galena Assembly!

Vision

"Vision is seeing what everybody has seen but thinking what nobody has thought."


As a pastor many times it would be easy to get caught up in trying to do do what every other so called successful church is doing.  We have to be people that see everything we can but then pray that God would give us eyes to see what He see's and that we would see what He wants us to see.  


At Galena Assembly we have a thriving bus ministry.  I can remember when churches started moving away from the bus ministry and then tried to say that bus ministry will not work in this day and age. It works for us. We break records every week for how many kids are coming to church through bus ministry.  It may not have worked at other churches, but it does work here.  


Let me challenge you as a leader or pastor.  Just because something is or isn't working for another church does not mean it will or will not work for you.  Pray, get vision to see what God wants you to see, and then move out.  

	Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Romans 12:2
