Growing...
Last week's sermon is available HERE.
That's how many adults we had with us this past Sunday at THE WELL.
Add their 16 kids to the picture and you get forty two.
Add three missing families who are normally with us and you get fifty.
Fifty people in five weeks.
That's our current growth curve at THE WELL.
On the one hand that's a pretty small Church which means that many of you won't be popping by to see us yet because it's impossible to blend in, in a crowd that small.
Most Church growth experts agree that a Church won't really start to grow numerically until it passes 200 because, at that size, new folk can show up and not be conspicuous.
So they (the experts) tell you that you should be doing everything you can (acknowledging that only Jesus ultimately builds His Church...) to get to 200 as fast as possible.
And while it's true that 50 is nowhere near 200 it's also true that 50 is one quarter of 200.
Just wanted those of you who are helping us to build this baby church from scratch to know that you're doing a great job and we're well (sorry) on our way.
200 here we come!
