I Love When a Plan Comes Together!

“I love it when a plan comes together!”  This was the famous line cited by the fictional Colonel John “Hannibal” Smith of the A-Team.   As a teenager, I loved the show because it’s characters, even though the plot was somewhat predictable.  There was a challenge… then a plan… and then the execution of the plan.  Hmm… sounds somewhat like pastoring a church.

That’s exactly was occurred yesterday at our Back to School Giveaway.   We made some key adjustments this year.  We did it during our Sunday morning worship experience instead of the usual Saturday before school started.  And what a difference that was!

We were able to design and personalize our  very own Impact Church backpacks and filled them with school supplies. We were able to bless hundreds of students and give a gift to every parent as well!

We had a packed house… a packed overflow section… and most importantly, packed altars!   We had a captured audience.  They received more than school supplies; they were given much love and the opportunity of eternal life!  Yep, I feel like the Colonel… “I love when a plan comes together!”(minus the cigar – LOL)

Impact Church, share with me your thoughts…
