That's our new address, and we held our first services there on Resurrection Sunday. We had 145 in attendance on Sunday morning and were already pulling out the folding chairs.
Pastor mentioned it on Sunday evening, but it is well worth repeating...Thank you to all of those who worked so hard throughout this whole process, and specifically on Friday and Saturday, to get everything ready for our services on Sunday. I hesitate to mention names because of the fear of inadvertantly leaving someone off the list, but it is appropriate to start with Bill Hunt, who worked closely with the developer to ensure that this project would be completed by our targeted deadline, and then dedicated numerous hours of "sweat equity" to put the finishing touches in place for our inaugural service.
Thanks to Jenna Boeke (at least that's how I think we got the coverage), the Rockford Register Star showed up to chronicle the day. We even got a front page above the fold (in newspaper talk) picture. We'll have more pictures to post soon.
