I'm sitting here in my almost empty living room looking around at some boxes and packing material. We are almost completely ready for the truck tomorrow. It has been a long day and a long week. It will be a huge relief to get into our house in Columbus and start settling in.
This morning was our first at Capital City. One word - awesome! God is so good!
The spirit of God was very real and very evident in the service this morning. When we allow Him to do what He wants the results are always great. To end with a spontaneous testimony of what God is doing in one family that fits right in with what I spoke about is something only God can orchestrate. It was obvious that the Spirit was speaking and touching lives throughout the day.
We didn't get a chance to speak to everyone this morning, but look forward to getting to know each one of you better. The hospitality we have been shown thus far has been incredible and there isn't much more we can say besides, "Thank You!"
2009 is going to be a year to remember as we see God work the fullness of His plan in and through Capital City Church. It starts with the individual. It is fueled by prayer. We will start the year off with a week of prayer starting Monday, January 5. Each day through Friday we will be at the church from 6 - 8 am and 6 - 8 pm giving people the opportunity to come and join us in prayer and seeking God's presence and Spirit for 2009. You are welcome to come and be a part of this meaningful time each day. If you can be there for a few minutes or for much longer, we will have prayer guides available and look forward to seeing you there.
We are going to go all out in spreading the love and good news of Christ in Columbus this year. We will take advantage of every opportunity that we can to know Christ and to make Him known.

Pastor Shane, kudos to you for your first official Sunday at CCC ... In a word, the service was AWESOME!! Thanks for challenging us to "dive deeper". I know your words touched many hearts and challenged Joe & I personally to go deeper with the Lord in the coming year. In fact, just today Joe & I began a MORNING time of prayer and Bible reading together -- which is quite a challenge for me as I am not at all a morning person ... Thanks for being obedient to tell us what the Lord had given you to say! We look forward with great anticipation to all the Lord has in store for us personally as well as collectively as a church body under your ministry.
