Return of Good Friends

I am so excited about the return of our good friends, Chris and Ashley Brooks, from Atlanta. Chris and Ashley are taking on the role of campus pastors at South Campus. Their first Sunday is tomorrow! The Brooks were on our original launch team of 7 people (along with Lee and Nicole Alexander and Katie Sullivan-- then Katie Young.) They spent many days and nights praying, obsessing over the church with us, ministering to people on so many levels. Their return is like a drink of fresh water to me -- we have missed them so much! I am confident that all of the folks out at South will just love them. I encourage you to welcome them with open arms in true Celebration style and rally around them in love and support.

So, if you haven't heard, Pastors Darren and Katie Sullivan will be taking on the role of Campus Pastors at the OP campus. I know those of you who knew the Sullivans at South Campus love them so much, but don't worry -- you will still be hearing them some on Wednesday nights at DW and you can always head over to OP's mid-week or Saturday night to see them. I encourage all of you at OP to open your hearts to the Sullivans. They are capable, sincere, and Christlike leaders who have been close to us for a the last 8 years. Many of you OP ladies who have heard Katie preach at Celebration Women know that she is a gifted communicator and passionate about the Word of God. I know you will love them!

By the way, I am looking forward to coming out to OP at lot more on Wednesdays after I return from Hillsong conference in Australia. Adios for now! LB!
