So this morning, I have, uh, good news for you and bad news for you.
I don't, I don't know if you're a good news people or bad news people first.
Uh, so I'm gonna start with good news.
Can we, can we do that this morning? Um, and so as you look around and you see our students, and you see our college ministry that literally didn't exist six months ago and now we have 20 plus college young adults that are showing up every week for Bible study and showing up for church, we have a growing church.
That is a very, very good thing to celebrate.
Here's the problem.
We don't have enough seats.
Some of you are like, "Oh my gosh, I'm sitting so close to the person next to me." And so we need more seats in our sanctuary.
And so, um, starting here next month, we have to add a service here on Sunday morning.
And, and this is good news for all of us is because all of us know somebody that we can invite into this place.
And so you may be thinking, "Well, I would love to invite somebody, but I just don't know if there's enough seats, and you know, this family is four or six, or like I don't even know if we can sit together," and all that kind of stuff.
Well, we're, we're alleviating that problem, and we're gonna open up some seats.
And so starting on September 13th, uh, we are gonna have an 8:30 service and a 10:00 service.
And so we are super excited, uh, about this, but here's one of the hangups.
We need more people.
We need more people to serve in our church.
When, when you add a second service, that means we need more kids workers, and we need more greeters, and we need more people handing out coffee, and we need more ushers, and we need more counters.
And like what happens is everything is duplicated when you add a service.
And so here's, here's the purpose of the Ministry Fair.
We even put chocolate out there to entice you to these tables.
Uh, Miss Doreen cheated.
She made homemade baked goods at her table, so I don't know if you wanna visit her, uh, table as well.
But we need you.
So this morning, I have, uh, good news for you and bad news for you.
I don't, I don't know if you're a good news people or bad news people first.
