A Very Special Day!

After planning, praying, and preparing for months to open our doors to Grace Chapel's Wilmington Campus, the day finally came!

Scores of volunteers had the place all set and ready - parking teams and greeters, Kidstown workers and youth leaders, balloons and cake – we pulled out all the stops! When the services began, people started streaming in. The services were worshipful and amazing. Pastor Bryan opened the Bible and spoke with relevance and passion. The parking lots were full to overflowing! It really felt like Grace Chapel!

By the end of the second service, one of the ushers whispered in my ear the total number of folks at the two services – 596!

Nearly 600 people for our first service! It was amazing day – one that far exceeded any of our hopes or expectations. We welcomed over 80 people who’d never been to Grace Chapel before. To top it all off, we were thrilled to know that we were worshiping together with Lexington – one church, two campuses!!

Praise God for a very special day!!

See you on Sunday!
