Three Day Recap

Here is a quick recap of the last three days. Friday, I met with the guy who is going to be doing our web design. We decided on a general layout for the site and he will have some preliminary templates for me to view on Tuesday. This is key because we are going to be advertising the website so that people can find out information about us and hopefully will come and check out what is going to be happening.

Our guy who is doing our graphics has finished up our logo which will be key to ordering some of our print media and signage.

We received our paperwork that has to be completed to get our 501 3c status. That will be filled out and sent in by Monday afternoon.

We are supposed to be hearing from the school this week to make it official that we can use the facility.

We will posting the dates and locations for our core group meetings by this Friday. If you would like to be a part of the core group, drop me an email at sammy@sammyclary.com. We have had several people express interest in this and I am looking forward to sharing the vision of Stone Bridge Church.

Here are a few prayer requests: 1. The people we are going to be reaching 2. Pray for the right person to lead our children's ministry 3. Wisdom in all of our decisions

Update

Things are moving along. I was able to meet with the staff from Marathon North today and talk through some things. It helps that they are only a little over a year old and it is encouraging to see where we can be in a year. I have been talking with North and they will possibly be our sponsoring church here in the upstate.

Two of my big concerns going into the church start was that of finding a worship leader and a location. As of today we have several people who have indicated they would like to be a part of the band and the new start. We will be announcing all of that info in a few weeks. But as of now it appears that need has been met. We have ended up with two possible locations and are working through the details to determine which will best suit our needs.

One of our prayer requests last week was that in the area of sound system and it appears that we have found our sound system and some more folks who will be a part of the core start up. This is huge because we were looking at a pretty good expense in purchasing a system.

We are currently looking for someone to head up the children's area. This will possibly be a paid position in the future but for the time being it will be volunteer. This is a big prayer request as we seek the right person.

Prayer Requests and Update

Things are moving along. We have gotten a commitment from our Worship Leader to which we will be announcing in a couple of days. We also have a few different people lined up for media(videos, counters and running the actual service). We will let you in on whose those folks are as well. Over the course of the last week I have been talking to the officials for the facility that we are looking to rent. We hope to have this nailed down by the first of next week. This will be a big factor in the actual date of which the church will start.

Now for some prayer requests. We are praying and looking for a lead person for our Children's Ministry. This will start as a volunteer position with the hopes of one day this turning into a staff position. We are also looking for volunteers in our Children's Area as well. Another position we are looking for is that of financial secretary. Again, this will start as a volunteer position and may one day be a staff position. Pray that we will seek out and find the right people for these positions.

We are also praying for the area we will be impacting and that we always be a church that combines our faith with our actions. We want to be active in the community in showing Christ's love through what we do.

We are praying for people who will make up the core group of the church that we all would be in unison and desire to make a difference where we live. And speaking of our core group, if you would like to be a part of our core group and get in on the ground floor of what is going to be taking places, please let us know and we would love to share with you the vision of what is happening.
Other prayer requests include that of a sound system and a projection system.
