Love Revolution Christmas Offering–UPDATE

Wellspring, you DID IT! You gave over $26,000 to our Christmas offering this year!  I am so proud.

I shot a little a video to say thanks.

Because of your generosity:

  • 4 orphanages in Haiti will have Christmas
  • 100 Myrtle Beach Middle School kids will have the clothes they need this winter
  • Wellspring will be able to invite like never before in 2012!

Thanks again Wellspring!  See you at one of our 2 Christmas Eve Eve services this week.

Wellspring x 2!

Starting on January 8th, Wellspring Church is adding a 2nd service!  Our new service times will be 9 am and 10:30 each Sunday.

We are making this move in RESPONSE to what God has done and in PREPARATION for what’s ahead.  God has moved in mighty ways in 2011 and we are expecting nothing less in 2012.  We are responding to our growth this year (we have to bring out more chairs almost every single week) and preparing for the many, many new faces that will visit Wellspring in 2012.

There are many benefits to having 2 servies and I wanted to touch on just a few right here.  By adding a second service we will:

  • Create more room for guests to attend
  • Make it easier for more people to attend because they have options
  • Make it easier for our volunteers to SERVE more…you can now attend a service and serve EACH WEEK without ever having to miss a service
  • Make it easier for our volunteers to INVITE more…now you can still serve one hour and invite your friends to attend WITH YOU the other hour
  • Create more opportunities for more people to play their role in God’s story

We are very excited about this move for many reasons, but one of the biggest for me is that it will give more of our people a chance to serve, to get involved and play their role in God’s story.

I hope that many will see this as their chance to jump in.  If you would like to help us launch this 2nd service, click here and let us know.  

There’s no better time to than RIGHT NOW to start making a difference by using the gifts and talents God’s given you!  2012 is going to be another record-breaking year for Wellspring…jump on board now to be a part of God transforming the Grand Strand!

Love Revolution Christmas Offering

Last Sunday I announced an initiative we are launching this Christmas at Wellspring Church that we believe will allow us to touch more lives than ever before.

We are calling it the Love Revolution Christmas Offering and we believe God wants to use it expand the reach and influence of Wellspring in Myrtle Beach and around the world.  We want to touch lives locally and globally as we seek to carry out our mission of seeing those far from God become passionate followers of Jesus Christ.

Here’s a video we used to announce the offering and give some details.

The offering will take place on December 18th during our morning service, but you can give RIGHT NOW.  Even if you are not a part of Wellspring Church, you can still help us reach those that need Jesus.  If you’ve never given to the mission of Wellspring, this is perfect way to support us.  Just click here and give online…it’s safe, secure and very easy to use.

I believe God has major plans for Wellspring in 2012 and this offering is the first step in seeing those plans become a reality.  Join the Love Revolution today and help us make a difference around the world!

Invite Someone THIS WEEKEND

We are now 2 weeks into our series, “The Gospel,” and God has moved in amazing ways.

We’ve seen more people accept Christ over the last 2 weeks than we’ve ever seen in a 2-week period in the history of Wellspring…and there are STILL 2 weeks to go!

Now is time for you to step out and invite.  
Invite that coworker that you’ve been meaning to talk to
Invite that neighbor that you see every Sunday afternoon
Invite that friend that keeps blowing off church but you KNOW they need it
Invite that family member that doesn’t see the value in “organized religion”

God changes lives…NOT US!  All we are asked to do is BE OBEDIENT and INVITE people to discover Jesus…the rest is up to him.

I challenge you today to make the ask, make the invite and WATCH GOD change lives through your obedience.  

Here’s a little video to inspire you this week.  My almost 4-year-old Jon met a new friend at the park and invited him to church.  If Jon can do it, so can you!

#Share Your Story

As you know, The Gospel starts this Sunday.

To coincide with this awesome series, we are giving the people of Wellspring a chance to tell their stories of following Jesus.  We want to hear from you, we want to know how Jesus has changed your life.

So here’s what we are going to do…starting THIS SUNDAY, we are setting up a video camera at the school to record your stories.

For our volunteers, the camera will be set up by 8:30 so you can #share your story before the Volunteer Service.
For everyone, the camera will be available starting at 9:30 until 10:00 and as long as it takes AFTER the service.  We will be doing this for the next 3 weeks.

We have 3 simple questions we want EVERYONE to answer:

  1. When did you become a Christ-follower?
  2. How has it changed your life?
  3. What would you to say to someone considering following Jesus?
This isn’t just for people who have become Christ-followers at Wellspring…EVERYONE that follows Christ should share their story.  If you are interested, find a volunteer (anyone with a shirt on that says “The Gospel”) and they’ll take you to the camera.

I pray that you will #share your story with us.  God has changed you and wants to use YOUR STORY to change others as well.
