BUSTING AT THE SEAMS

It's crazy to think that we launched New Life Maple Valley only three weeks ago...and already we're talking about adding a third service! Week 1 was packed and we had to put 30 people in the lobby just to make room. Then Week 2 we added a second service and they both filled up. Yesterday was Week 3 and once again, packed house!

What's even more crazy - We haven't even advertised in the community at all yet. God is up to something very cool in Maple Valley and this is a huge confirmation of the call we got to plant a church there.

Next week we will be sending out a mailer to the Maple Valley/Covington/Black Diamond neighborhoods and inviting them to come check us out for our Grand Opening on February 13th when we'll start a new series called "Jacked Up!"

We are praying and believing God for a great response to our mailer invitations. It is very likely that we'll have to add a third service just to make room for everyone. There are tons of ways to get involved and partner with us by joining a serving team - so if you're not connected yet, shoot me an email and I'll get you plugged in. You can email me at garrett.birkeland@newlifemaplevalley.com

In closing, I wanted to share a couple pictures that I took in our Boardwalk (birth - 5yrs old) area yesterday. We have such an incredible kids program and our volunteers ROCK. I especially love to see men serving in these rooms; there's a lot of babies that need a strong & positive male influence in their lives!

Can't wait to see what God has in store for us next Sunday! I'm praying for you all and so thankful for such an amazing group of volunteer church planters!!
