Vantage Launch Service – Sept 13th, 2009

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

To God be the glory! Today was an historic day for Vantage Church. As I sit in my family room writing this, I am overwhelmed with so many emotions. God is truly on the move in this city and it is hard to put in to words how honoured we are to be a part of it.

Our day started early… VERY early…. we bump in at 6am so needless to say it was still dark when we woke up! We arrived to our venue (a movie theatre complex of 14 cinemas) to meet up with our most amazing team. They were already busy at work and they all had smiles on their faces!! Pretty amazing at 6am BEFORE the coffee run!

There were a few hiccups… to be expected on your first Sunday I guess… but set up went pretty smooth. I watched our team get busy… some setting up the sound system, some blacking out seats and doing seat-drops, some setting up the foyers and making coffee, some setting up our kids rooms…. each role important and a valued part of our team.

Preview Night #3 – by Alycia Logan

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

Last night was the third of our five Preview Nights leading up to our Church launch, and once again, it was great night as we gathered together to focus on how good God is! As the team led us in communion I could not help but be overwhelmed by the incomparable love that God has for us. How can we not share that with the world!!?? It is simply too good to keep to ourselves.

Damian spoke about resting in God in relation to our capacity. We can do so much more when we rest in God – sometimes it’s not even about more in quantity, but more in quality. I believe that as we rest in God we can watch Vantage Church take shape and see God’s amazing work at hand in the lives of people in our community. When we enter in and choose to lift Him up we become a shining light in the darkness.  Last night as we sang “The same power that conquered the grave lives in me” those words of declaration stirred up a passion to see the Church become that light. Every week God continues to amaze us with His goodness.

And of course we had time to eat food and drink coffee as well! The team has loved getting to know everyone who is coming through our doors to check out Vantage Church and it is fantastic to be meeting new people every week! For those of you who have not come along to one of our services yet we would absolutely love to have you. You are welcome anytime!

As we get closer to our September 13th launch we are expectant and excited for what is in store! We hope to see you at our next Preview Night on August 26th!
