What a great day it was this past Sunday at the New Campus Open House! Thanks to all who came and for everyone who pitched in to provide warmth, hospitality, grace and fun! We hosted over 300 throughout the event, and everyone had a chance to see the building that we'll be voting on purchasing on Sunday, November 7.
A few highlights from the day:
- The event was hosted by our New Campus Team - it was the church being the church! Thanks team!
- People who have committed to the New Campus were able to meet one another - some for the first time!
- Many committed and engaged people came to see the building for the first time. It gave them a chance to see how their faithful vision and generosity will contribute to the forwarding of God's kingdom in metro-Boston.
- Cars in the parking lot and bodies in the rooms helped us envision what church would look like here. I had someone tell me that that they drove by on 93 and saw the full lot and prayed for us!
- 8 more people made a commitment to the New Campus - bringing our total now to 108!
- 50 more people indicated that they are considering the New Campus as their church home.
All in all, a very good day!
Don't forget the two upcoming Congregational Meetings after the 11am service on Sunday, October 31 and Sunday, November 7. The first will be for us to hear a full update on the building and to open the floor for discussion and the second will be for members to vote.
