Yes, we did it today. We broke ground on our church's land for our new church building. It was the most dynamic and fun day that I have experienced in church. I love my church and I am proud to be a member of Waters Edge.
The huge tent was put up and probably 800 or more people showed up. There was a baptism ceremony that included 80 or so people who demonstrated their faith in Jesus Christ in an outward manner and were baptized on our new land. That must have been very exciting for them. The music was phenomenal this morning and the band outdid themselves with that first song -- it really rocked that tent, and the whole service was great. I don't see how they can top this one, but I am sure that they will, somehow.
I am still amazed at how much the staff puts into the service every single week. They seem tireless, yet, I know how much work it was this morning and every week, for that matter. These people are awesome. They are so creative and so devoted to making our church something that we can all be proud of. We may be a vagabond church without our own building, but you would never know it if you came to one of our services. They strive for excellence and it shows. Sure, things happen, mics don't always work properly, people are human--sometimes mistakes are made, but it isn't for lack of trying. The staff and the volunteers are amazing in the way that they handle every single service at Waters Edge. They instill in the volunteers how valuable we are to them and how much they count on us, yet, they hold us up to a standard of excellence that we are proud to be a part of, and that we strive to attain each Sunday. It makes us want to do our best for them.
Come and visit our church sometime. You won't be disappointed. Check out our website at http://www.watersedgechurch.net/, and be a part of something totally awesome.
