This service brought to you by....

 
...the Core and Launch Team from the Lexington Campus. We decided to let these teams serve and fill every volunteer ministry this past weekend at East as our Lexington team heads into the final stages of our preparation for our August 29th launch of HRCC's 5th campus.
 
It takes a minimum of 38 volunteers to be adequately staffed for each of our services at East. We had some of the team pulling double duty serving as greeters and ushers and a couple of other double service volunteers. It was a great experience and everyone did an excellent job. Thank you teams! It was awesome to see the Lexington campus praise band for their first public services after several weeks of practice after the band was created. I heard great reviews!
 
It's only 6 weeks to launch and the next weeks will be busy finishing up training, purchasing of equipment, practice set ups and a couple of practice services in addition to our promotion and marketing to get the word out about the launch. We've learned from our experiences with the other 4 campuses as we launched so we pretty much have our time table and planning sequence "down" based on these experiences.
 
We still can use anyone who wants to help for a short while or longer term as a core or launch team member. Just contact me and we can discuss.
 
Several things you can do to help. Pray...pray every day leading up to the launch that God will bless our efforts and that we are honoring God in all our preparations. You can support financially. The Gospel is free but ministry isn't...particularly a multi-site strategy which is one church in multiple locations. If you wish to give, please designate your gift for the Lexington campus. You can support us by giving your gift at any campus or you can support us with an on-line gift. You can serve... as I mentioned above, we can always use more volunteers to help us get launched and up and going.
 
Thanks so much for your prayers.
 
In Christ,
 
Mike

53 days: 21 hours: 14 minutes and 2 seconds

This is how long it is until the launch service of the HRCC Lexington Campus (or at least it was when I typed the title in). I have been so excited anticipating what God is doing as we continue to ramp up for the launch on August 29 at 10:30 am.

At present we have 24 adults committed as Core Team members and almost as many committed to be a part of the Launch Team that will help us and support us for 60 days or so after we launch. We still need more members for both teams if you're interested.
