ReChurch has Begun


ReChurch is officially a church! We had our first preview service on Sunday morning at the Fox & Ferret in the Palms Mall. It was a true success. We had plenty of help with setup and pack down and were so excited with the people that turned up to be a part of our first day. Hamish's sermon was a bulls-eye, the worship that Nate lead us in was brilliant, and Joe's communion thoughts and notices went over very well. 31 people turned up altogether - not bad considering we're just beginning monthly preview services as we build up to our full church launch on 21 Feb. Our launch team is beginning to grow as another family has come on board. They were a huge help to us this morning filling several guest services and techy roles. God is moving in Christchurch.
Prayer time with volunteers before the service started.

Thank you for your prayers and encouragement as we we begin our church! We feel truly amazed at how well everything went on Sunday.

Rechurch rocks! Hey Flammer fans, did you know that John Key (Prime Minister of New Zealand) was on David Letterman the other day? I posted the video on our blog: www.n8andwhitney.blogspot.com
