Celebration!

Hey everyone!
There is sooo much to get excited about at the Vineyard right now. I know I won't tell everything, but in the last month ( at least since I came on as the new Community Pastor) I've seen a ton of things to get really jazzed about. I hope some of these will enfuse your heart with fire for God's Kingdom today:

A) almost 800 backpacks given away at B2SBlast
B) over 300 people volunteered to help with B2SBlast
C) we had almost 100 people at NEWCOMER pizza
D) our young adult ministry launched with a powerful time of worship and prayer (and a good crowd)
E) our youth group launched with over 300 students and on week #2 saw kids get saved... wow!
F) we've had baptisms at Danvile, Urbana and Bloomington campuses (over 25 people total)
G) we had an inspiring time of worship & prayer at HOLY SPIRIT night
H) our first VLT went very well... with attendance way up and ministry time was great
I) we have NEW small groups launching... and some great new leaders/coaches in the St. Joseph area
J) Paxton campus is developing an incredible team: 10+ groups already and over 100 in their core team
K) Sullivan campus launched 3 services and is close to 400 people now (in 1.5 years, thats incredible!)

And that's just in the last 4-6 weeks friends!
The Holy Spirit is blowing. I can't wait for what's next. Anything else you see Jesus doing right now?
