100+... but we cheated

Last Sunday we had over 100 people in attendance, with several first-time visitors, and even a couple of regular families missing. We sang. Sam recounted how Christ radically transformed his life a couple of years ago. We looked at "The Secret Message of Jesus" (which is NOT a secret by the...

The Transformation of an Atheist

The story of one girl: [a few months ago at "Le Lounge"] "I'm an atheist" , she said during her first visit to "Le Lounge". She had a couple of friends there and liked the atmosphere. The God part? Well, she was curious at least to see what all the hubbub was all about...

About a year ago (as many know) my step-father underwent neurosurgery to remove a large tumor from the base of his brain (Read more here ). Though a dramatic success, the surgery also damaged several of Gerry's facial nerves, effectively paralyzing half of his face, leaving him with the effects of...

Today (Palm Sunday) the room felt empty as we began, then, in typical baptist fashion, a mad rush of people began filling the back rows and then working their way toward the front. (Wish I had some photos to show you... maybe of our Easter service next week). We ended up with at least 84 people (maybe...

About 66 People Attended Last Sunday

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. I (Rob) preached on...
