Commissioning Service Recap

This past Sunday, our church family honored Karen, Nate and I for 10 years of ministry at Marcus Pointe. At the same time, our church took the time to pray for our church plant Lakepointe Church and the church planting team. This was a very powerful service.

• The service began with the choir singing "Revelation Song", one of my favorite worship song.

• Our very own SEVEN22 Band led the worship. It was an amazing time of worship. We sang for 45 minutes.

• Pastor Godfrey shared a few minutes about my 10 years of ministry. Great memories and lots of fun. I'm honored to have shared with him over the years.

• I took about 10-15 minutes to share my vision and strategy plan for the church launch.

• Ron Bishop of SCORE International took about 5-10 minutes to give us a charge about vision. He spoke from Nehemiah and the building of the wall. Best 5-10 minute talk about vision that I've ever heard. Thank you, Ron, for being a part of this special evening.

• Pastor gave a final charge to the Lakepointe Church team which last about 10-15 minutes. Four great thoughts from him: 1. Prioritize your life in the beginning, 2. Preach the Word, 3. Keep the Main thing the Main thing, 4. Keep on Dreaming.

• A beautiful Bible was presented from the church.

• $25,000 is committed from Marcus Pointe to Lakepointe over the next 2 years.

• A prayer of blessing and commission over the Lakepointe Church team.

• A cake reception was held after the service.

We were so excited to see a number of friends that we haven't seen in years. Thank you for everyone's prayer and support as we are about to move to Detroit.
