Life is Good....and so is Seacoast Church!

Tara had to work yesterday. She has started her residency and has to be there super early even on Saturday and will have to be there again early on Sunday so we have to decide when to go to church. So with Janine and David Brown we decided to go to church on the Saturday night evening. This church is pretty big and was a little overwhelming when we first showed up a couple weeks ago. Fortunately God helped ease that by setting us up to meet some wonderful people. A friend of mine, Noah Campbell, was in North Carolina and had missed a flight so he went on to Starbucks and met some nice Christ loving people who live in Charleston, SC and work at Seacoast church in Mt. Pleasant. So Noah hooked us up with them and we met them the first Sunday we went and they sat with us during the service and gave us a tour. So last night we decided to go without knowing if they would be there. When we approach the front of the church there is a lemonade stand with a little girl and boy asking if we would like a drink and of course I do. They were so cute. As soon as we walk in we see Brian and he came over and started talking to us and we introduced him to Janine and David. We had some good conversation and Brian invited us to a 4th of July cookout him and Lauren are having on Monday. We showed Janine and David the center they have for serving and getting into community groups which is awesome. The seem to love to serve both locally and globally wich is great to see. They also encourage to be in a life group to build community/friendships. Then we went to the service. The worship band is contemporary and rocks out! Pastor Greg came on and is talking about the rise and fall of David. He gives a nice message and ends the service with a response to God where they have a cross set up to go to and talk with someone if you want and they also have communion set up too. They have cards they hand out for prayer request and this time asked people to write their blessings on the card and place them on the stage. Then ended with some more worship which is a great way to leave feeling pumped up. As we leave we see Brian again and then gave a quick tour of the church. We left having a great conversation about church. I could see Tara and I staying at this church and developing strong relationships here and having the access to serve for God too. I'm really excited to begin this adventure with Tara and just pray we serve God the best way we can and glorify HIM with everything we do!!! Moral of this story....life is good.....and so is Seacoast Church.
