Defining Moments Concept
Wow…can you believe it’s been a year since we started the “Defining Moments” journey? It has been amazing to see God at work in SouthPoint and our community. There have been several areas where God has stepped in:
- * The owners graciously agreeing to sell us the property at MD-4 South and Fairgrounds Road.
- * The price was almost one million dollars LESS than our original offer.
- * The owners graciously agreed to sell us the acreage we requested.
- * Your sacrificial giving led to SouthPoint being able to:
- - – Make the down payment and pay the closing cost to close on the property.
- - – Hire Kyle Squire as our full-time Student Impact director. (Students recently had a camp out on the property!)
- * Identifying, selecting and hiring an architectural firm (The Beck Group) to master plan our future home. Please see the “initial” DRAFT concept plan . NOTE, it’s an initial draft only : )
- * A trip to Texas to see some of the “work” our architects have done. (See pictures of other churches and ideas.)
- * The new SouthPoint sign and student impact has led to changed lives and growth!
- – – 57 people have made 1st time decisions for Jesus in the first 5 months of the year.
- – – 51 people have made recommitments.
- – – We had record attendance in our 2011 Easter service.
- – – We have had record attendance in Sunday services.
And we continue to move forward as next week SouthPoint will have a meeting with the architects to go through the Charrette – pronounced (shur-et) process on Saturday 6/18. To top things off we will be having a Defining Moments service on Sunday 6/26 followed by a picnic on the property!
I would like to say “thank you” for all your sacrifice and efforts to help us love people on behalf of Jesus!
In Him,
Matt Hall
