The Three-Week Slide

Well, we’ve just completed our first message series at The Orchard Church. It sort of feels like a landmark for us.

  • I am really proud of our worship band. They’ve worked hard, and have done a great job. Not only is the music awesome, but the Spirit is evident.
  • Shout out for the tech crew, also! We have people running sound, lights, and video week in and week out that do a great job.
  • Every week, our CLEAN UP CREW works the movie theater very late on Saturday nights. Great job, guys.
  • The church-planting gurus say that we should have expected a “three-week slide” of 50% from our launch day attendance numbers. Well, we are WAY above that! It is amazing the spiritual hunger that is so evident all around us!


I have been thrilled at the great comments I have heard and read from people who have visited with us over the last several weeks. I love it when I hear people say things like, “we feel so welcome here,” “this place rocks,” and “this is like coming home.” I am most thrilled that we have seen at least eight people turn their lives over to Christ!

Our next series, “Reel Life,” begins on Sunday. I think you are really going to like it. If you haven’t been with us at The Orchard Church yet, you should give it a try. Have a look at the details here.
