Welcome Home tides church!
Date 10.14.08WELCOME HOME TIDES CHURCH..
WELCOME HOME!
What a day! Everything was amazing!! I’ll probably use a lot of exclamation points in the next several lines, just a heads up! We spent hours upon hours of preparations for the day to be as perfect as possible. So many people poured their heart and soul into every last detail. When Deborah and I rolled in we were greeted just like you by the smiling warm faces of the parking lot crew only to be greeted again by our connection team and then again by everyone who had arrived before us. The excitement level was so high and every one around us had a grin from ear to ear that just seemed to say WOW I can’t believe we get to worship here! Seriously it is so nice! You would have thought that we broke the bank putting this thing together with the opposite being true! The band was electric the slide show video of all the volunteers was riveting and breaking in the pulpit was like nothing else I have ever experienced. We had record amounts of people show up and there was no doubt that Jesus was right there with us! I was worshipping with tears in my eyes most of the time while muttering the words Thank You Jesus from my lips over and over again. I probably spoke for to long but what the heck you only get one chance to break in a new first facility! At the end we gave an invitation and many prayed to receive Christ for the first time! We finally had to ask people to clear out into the parking lot so we could head out over to the baptism which was also wonderful by the way! Thank you 3 in 1 for such a great experience to serve You as the Pastor of tides church! May we Rock this town for You! Give us favor where ever we go and make us into a generation that brings You praise!
Make sure you come out this week for the continuation of our NEW series called… So You’re Dead Now What? The subject this week is Hell. I promise this one you will want to see! See you all there! Bryan

Hey Pastor! You rocked! In your list of people to thank for making “it” possible I learned something new. What is that you ask?That you don’t lose your reward in Heaven if someone honors you here on Earth for giving. The fact that so many people were recognized in the Old Testament for how they helped rebuild was something that I didn’t know about. It was inspiring to see, and I now know that they’ve also built up treasures in Heaven. Thanks!
A full circle moment!
WooooHooooo! What a blessing to have such a beautiful place to finally call our own. When I saw all the hard work that was put into the construction, I was truly blown away. The slide show with the song “This is Home” made it even more evident that Tides was built out of faith & love. I feel so lucky to have been a part of such a promissing begnning.
