The Well Palmdale, CA

March 16th, 2008 will be a day that I remember for a long time. Last Sunday night was our first worship service and I was absolutely moved by what God did that night. There was a huge crowd, many well wishers from our mother church, and many were curious about who we are. I think the best part about Sunday for me was the two baptisms (Renee and Brenden). It is always a special joy for me, as a pastor, to baptize someone in the Christian faith. It was very moving, and encouraging.

I wanted to take this blog space to thank everyone who came, who helped, and who prayed for us. We know that people were praying around the globe for Sunday night and for the many Sunday nights to follow. Thank you to all of our prayer warriors from Japan to Minnesota...God answered your prayers. I look forward to seeing what He will do this coming weekend on Easter. I know that having an Easter evening worship is rather unconventional, but I am not sure that there is much about The Well that is truly conventional. Instead of Easter sunrise worship we'll do Easter sunset (for all of those who like to sleep in, hunt for Easter eggs, eat some brunch, take a nap, and then go to worshiop).

I also want to thank all of you who participated in Jump Start. It was a lot of fun, and for those who skipped out on finger painting...you missed out. There were some beatiful palms made! I think we also learned a couple of things and will make a few small adjustments so that both parents and nonparents get the most out of the break out time.

Keep checking the website throughout the week for pictures, the sermon, and some info on Easter.
