You DON’T Want to Miss This!!

Alden — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 15:42:36 +0000

I am so excited about January 24th! This is the day that we will be celebrating NewSpring Church’s 10 Year Anniversary at the Bi-Lo Center in Greenville, SC! It is going to be AMAZING! Trust me when I say that you DON’T want to miss it. We are expecting over 15,000 people to attend. If you live in Columbia, you can ride with us. We are chartering buses to take the Columbia Campus. Sign up here if you would like to ride with us!

To get ready for it, take a look at the promo video we showed at our Christmas Services:

Bryce is growing at an unbelievable pace and is learning new stuff everyday! I am continually amazed by my little man. I wanted to be able to share the newest thing that he started to do just a couple days ago!

We had a GREAT Christmas with Bryce. He had such a good first Christmas. I haven’t posted any videos of Bryce in a while, so I wanted to share a video of him that we took when we put him in front of a little piano!

I hope that all of you in the blogosphere have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

At our Christmas services we used the following video as the sermon opener. I loved it and it moved me in a big way, now that I have a little boy watching me everyday, so honestly….all I can say is WOW! Check it out here:

NewSpring Columbia Shoe Giveaway

Alden — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 12:12:39 +0000

Yesterday was incredible! I was able to lead a team of 25 volunteers to Harbison West Elementary School and give each child a brand new pair of New Balance shoes. It was so awesome!! WIS-TV came and did a story on it and it ended up being a great story. Check it out here:

Rest…

Matthew 11:28-30 - “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Claim it…

Sometimes, we go through stuff…BUT we always know Jesus is in control, so with that being said…I claim it!!

Luke 21:10-19, “Then he said to them: ‘Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven, but before all this, they will lay hands on you and persecute you. They will deliver you to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name. This will result in your being witnesses to them. But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves. For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. All men will hate you because of me. But not a hair of your head will perish. By standing firm you will gain life.’“

NewSpring Kenya Trip

Alden — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:27:39 +0000

Today, there is a group of 48 people who will be leaving to serve in Kenya! I am so pumped for this group and it is my prayer that God will protect them as they travel, but will also wreck them as they serve.

Jump over to Dave Nimmons’ blog to get a full detail of what they will be doing while in Kenya. You can also see who is going, so you can pray for them by name.

Lastly, in the list of people you notice that there are people going from Anderson, Florence, and Greenville. I can’t wait till we have some folks from our Columbia Campus join in on future trips. You can go to the NewSpring website for details on future Kenya trips, but here is a list of the future trips coming up in 2010:

February 4-13, 2010
May 20-29, 2010 (medical/dental focus)
June 10-19, 2010
August 19-28, 2010
November 18-27, 2010

Love you guys!! Praying for you!
