Dear
Fellow Servant, Are
you still rejoicing like me from the N3 Conference? What a
mighty and amazing move of God. I am so thankful that I know
He is able whether He chooses to bless or not. Thank you BLVD
for showing up and supporting the conference and thank God for
showing out! I’ve been seeing your comments on
our Facebook Fan
Page. Continue to let us know how
you enjoyed the conference. Next week, we will have an
official survey so watch for it and please complete it. You
may also purchase the
N3 Conference CD/DVD set starting Sunday. This
Sunday (September
5) we begin our Baggage Check Sermon
Series at both locations. Bishop McKissick’s message about
leaving your baggage at the altar was right on time. Come out
either to THE BLVD
East at 8:30AM or THE BLVD Midtown at
10:00AM and bring a friend or two with you. Don’t let the
Labor Day holiday weekend stop you from coming to worship.
However, if you are unable to attend in person you can always
watch the Live
Streaming at 10:00AM on the website: www.theblvd.org In
closing I am sending a special Happy
Birthday/Anniversary wish to THE BLVD East. The
month of September marks our first year as “one church in two
locations”. We are thankful to God for His blessings in
overflow. I am also thankful to all of you who have given
tirelessly to help us make it to this month of celebration. I
am encouraging all members of THE BLVD East to show up weekly
especially this month because beyond the dynamic praise and
worship, we have lots of activities planned just for
you. As
a reminder the church
offices will be closed on Monday, September 6. Business
resumes Tuesday September 7. God
bless you. I love
you and I will see Sunday! |
