One Prayer

I'm happy to announce that Seacoast will be participating in the "One Prayer" series this June.  Craig Groeschel from LifeChurch called and asked if we would be involved and if I would contribute a message.  The premise is to gather hundreds of churches (over 700 so far) from all over the world to do a series at the same time based on the statement - "If I could ask God to answer one prayer it would be..."  You can find out more about the series here.  There is an interview with me on the Swerve blog about why I think the series is important and a little bit about what I'm going to be teaching on.

Manning campus

We opened the Manning campus this past weekend.  This is a new experience for us in that it is in a smaller community.  We are using some video elements for worship as well as the teaching...if it goes well we think that it may be a model that will help us reach smaller communities throughout the state.  Way to go Manning team!

You can read about it on page 3 of the local Manning paper.  Download manning_startup.pdf

Dad is ok, a guy with big hair and another campus

FAMILY NEWS: A big thanks to all of you who prayed for my dad. The surgeons did a double bypass on Sunday morning and Dad came through fine. Please continue to pray for his recovery. God is good!

BIG HAIR NEWS: Do you remember our curly-headed friend from American Idol? Well, Chris Sligh is releasing a brand-new CD and has chosen Seacoast Church to be his release party. One of the songs, "Empty Me," has already cracked the top 20 on the national charts. On May 4th in the Warehouse of our Long Point campus, and May 6th in the auditorium of our Greenville campus, Chris will be performing songs from his new CD. For more info or to get tickets, go here.

CAMPUS NEWS: Our Manning campus is opening on May 4th. I am so excited to see what God is going to do in Manning! Please pray for their grand opening, and maybe consider a road trip on May 4th to join in the fun!
