Two Services off to a GREAT Start!


Well, it's getting a little crazy here at Real Life as God moves and we work to be in step with Him.  We believe His timing is always perfect so we want to do our best to be ready when He is (even if we don't think we are!).  So I thought I'd give you some info on what's happening since we moved to two worship services on Sunday mornings, even though we've only got two weeks under our belt!
First of all, April set three new records for us!
  1. We set an attendance record on Easter weekend with 200 in attendance for both the Saturday night and Sunday morning service.  But even if you take either of the services (140 or 120) each of those was a single weekend attendance record!  
  2. We also finished the month (if you take out our Easter weekend attendance) with an average attendance of 84 for the four Sundays not including Easter.   That's the highest average weekly attendance ever at Real Life!  (Just FYI, if you figure in Easter we finished with avg of 107.)
  3. In addition, the last two Sundays of the month, our first with two services, saw attendances of over 90!  (93 on the 22nd and 97 on the 29th) That's the first time we've had 90+ two weeks in a row!  
It is clear that God is doing some great things here at Real Life in helping us connect with people so we might help connect them to Jesus and we're so excited about all He's going to continue to do here! 

Growth always means that there will challenges and changes.  I think the most obvious is that we need more help!  Two services means twice the work and we need YOU to step up and help share the load.  We need more (and more consistent) help with greeting on Sunday Mornings.  We need more help getting the place cleaned and ready each week for the services.  We need more willing to help bring breakfast/snack items for the services and more willing to support the church in any other way God leads, time - talent and treasure!  

Three new records set at Real Life  is just the beginning of what God is going to accomplish through His Church!  We're so excited about the future here at Real Life!

Why not join us THIS Sunday at either 9 or 11 and see for yourself what God is doing!
