It's official, Horizonte Church will now have two morning services! We are at about 80-90% capacity in the auditorium, and have actually have new people come into the church and leave because it looks like there are no available seats!! We DON'T want that! There are of course going to be people who are reluctant to change to two services, as in all churches when it's time for a change. But this is being presented to the church like this:
Our goal is to reach more people in QRO through our morning service. In order to to that, we need to have enough seats for everyone so no one leaves from lack of a seat. In order to have more seats we either need to: expand the auditorium (can't exactly happen due to lack of money), or have another service. It's all about reaching more people!
Please pray for us during this transition. As of now, we don't have two sets of people to cover two services, so many will be serving during both services (worship team, greeters, sound, etc). We also want to offer sunday school classed (UpStreet and Waumba) during both services, so we'll need more sunday school volunteers so each set of teachers can go to a service as well.
We will be doing vision-casting services for this soon, and a celebration service because God has allowed us the opportunity to grow and reach more people! The first day of double services will be September 30.
Oh, and I'll be in Salem (and Willamette Valley area in general!) Sept. 5-12, so if anyone wants to get together, let me know!!
