Howdy everybody!

It is Round Up time. Here are a couple of quick thoughts as you prepare for Sunday:

1. Be ready to warmly greet and get to know everyone. Make sure that folks find connection in your class with others. Provide name stickers for everyone. Continue to be friendly to all in the halls, worship center, etc.

2. Make room in Sunday School. Set up for too many this week. Clear away clutter. Perhaps leave the chairs stacked while you stand for a breakfast finger food beginning.

3. Make room in Worship. Please sit in the middle of the pew. If possible, perhaps sit in the balcony this week. Both of these moves will quickly free up room downstairs for first time guests.

4. If you can, park out. It will be rainy. We’ll all want to be close. I appreciate it!

5. Share your own testimony of faith in Christ. In other words, share with your small group why you are gathered together. Very quickly share where you were in life before He became your Lord, how you then came to faith, and what your life has been like since. Share how your Sunday School small group encourages your walk.

It will be a great day. Pray that the Lord is glorified. I look forward to Crossway being with us. Shine your boots, and see you Sunday!
