I am sitting here watching American Idol on my DVR after an incredible weekend.  Thanks to all of you who invited friends, neighbors, co-workers and family.  It is because of each of you that we were able to have over 700 people at Valley Mills worshipping together this easter.

It is my prayer that as we continue to move forward as a church asking God to bless us and use us to reach this region of Indianapolis.  We will have to keep praying and reaching out to those around us who do not have a relationship with Jesus.  Our hearts and attitudes have to be directed towards reaching new people not creating a church that is all about those who are already here.  The stories I have heard about conversations that many of you are having is exciting to me.

Valley Mills has the chance to make a difference in a time where many are searching for some sort of hope in life.  Let us be the place they can come meet Jesus and feel connected to us as a family.  Easter has given us the momentum to really make a change and keep doing great things for the Kingdom.

On a different note as we are growing and seeing more and more people each week join us for worship, we are in need of additional volunteers.  If you are interested in working in a certain area of the church please let us know.  If there is something that you think we should be doing share it and be ready to lead others as we prepare ourselves for the impact that we are having in this region of Indy.  The church will only grow when we are willing to serve and use the gifts that God has given us to further His Kingdom.

Let’s help God grow this church!
