Just wanted to share an update on our weekend service schedule. We had a great 4:30 service @ Ebenezers. Pretty funny when 63 seems like a huge attendance! We actually placed bets as a staff. I guessed 17. One of our proteges, Andy Pisciotti, guessed 55. You can tell who has the most faith on our staff. It's not me! Pretty impressed that we had that many people trudge through the snow.
Can I share a thought? I have zero issues with any one who missed service because they felt like it wasn't safe to walk or drive. Totally respect that. But I also believe that sometimes God honors the extra effort. I really feel like some people got more out of the service tonight simply because it took more of an effort to get there!
Here's the scoop.
Our Ballston Location will NOT have services. Theater is closed. We will have our regular service schedule @ Georgetown, Kingstowne, and Ebenezers. And we'll have the webcast up on Sunday morning so you can go to church in your pajamas if you're snowed in.

We were expecting about 2 inches today and I have numerous commitments in children's ministry tomorrow...I thought, you know what, if they have Church (and they were planning to), then I'm there! That is why I started serving in some capacity right after I joined the Church (in 1992), if I'm ever "tempted" not to go, I HAVE TO! Changed my life and my faith!
I can't even imagine what means to go to the Church, in a 'snowy day". This sunday evening was sooooo hot, here, in Maringá( South Brazil), where I live.
But, in spite of being so cold( freezen..I guess) in USA, and so hot in Brazil. We've praised to the Lord, and we've celebrated, because we're God's holy nation, His very own possession.
Thanks to the Lord because we are his family.
