First-time Guest Comments

Here are the latest comments we received from the cards we send first-time guests:

Woodbury

  • LOVE the music and theater-style atmosphere!! Great, welcoming place. My only suggestion for improvement/comment – the time frame/length. I assumed it would be an hour or so, and was surprised when I was still there 1 hour and 15 minutes later. Is there a typical service length? If so, how long?

If whomever sent this response is reading this, our services run between 70 and 75 minutes. They don't last that long for lack of planning. We plan every minute. But we realize that's not for everybody. I certainly hope you find it to be valuable and packed with elements that help you grow in a relationship with God. If not, email me and I'll suggest a very good church in the area that gets it done in an hour.

  • I felt the Holy Spirit moving in Five Oaks. My only thought for creating a more welcoming atmosphere would be to add a couple “old time” hymns to the service.

Mother's Day Photo Bloopers

Here are some the "bloopers" and fun shots we showed in our services last week from the Mother's Day photos. These pictures were really awesome. I hope to create a sense of regret in anyone that missed out so that you don't make the same mistake twice.

Thank you to all the volunteers who devoted hours to this, especially Davin Dong who trained our photographers and did most of the editing. Thanks also go out to David Gafford who organized the whole event and did a lot of the heavy lifting to pull it off.
