We had, by mistake, set out 100 chairs, so we took a few away, leaving about 60 chairs (too many extra chairs and everyone sits in the back stairing at the empty chairs in front of them).  Well, as people arrived, we had to add chairs again. We've had to add chairs every week.

1. What was the source of the disciples power?
2. Why was the Holy Spirit given? (What is His role in my life?).
3. What's up with the gift of tongues anyway?

So it was a jam-packed Sunday, both theologically and numerically.

More encouraging than crowds Sunday morning are groups meeting together during the week:

• Tuesday evening (a group going through material on how to make a disciple & lead a small group)
• Wednesday morning (a group going through material on how to make a disciple & lead a small group)
• Wednesday afternoon (Le Lounge, an outreach at the local Cégep ("College").
  
• Wednesday evening (an open prayer group that discusses the Sunday-morning sermon)
• Thursday morning (a bi-weekly group at a local retirement home walking through the basics of the gospel)
• Weekend group (to start soon... groing through material on how to make a disciple & lead a small group)

Though crowds on Sunday are exciting, the community and personal growth that happens during the week favor deep and not simply superficial growth (at least, that is what we as a leadership team are aiming for).

-Thank you for praying for us (the Karch family) and the church in St Jerome
