We conducted a food bank drive at the Super Wal-Mart in Trexlertown, PA. In five hours the team collected nearly 3,500 pounds of food and household items for the needy of the Lehigh Valley. I originally thought the amount was like in the 500 pound range, but when they came to pick it up, the guy was like "Bro, this is a lot of stuff, no way this is just 500 lbs! I've been doing this a long time and this is more like 3,000 to 3,500lbs." I was stunned to be quite honest. So.., we filled their van to capacity and sent them off to deliver the food and items to those in need.
Big shout out to all the customers at Super Wal-Mart on Saturday; thank you so much for contributing!
In addition to the food donations, we had thousands of conversations and touches with the folks of the Lehigh Valley. The cool thing about that Super Wal-Mart, is that every nation and community seems to shop there; it is a very diverse crowd - which is right up our alley! :-)

Mikie played at Conway's Barbecue and Pub and did an Outstanding job! I may be biased, but I think we have a very talented and awesome worship leader!

Our first preview service went off without any real hitches. It was well attended, and most everyone with the exception of a couple people were all new faces. Everyone was thankful for the service and appeared to be sold on the vision that we are casting for the Lehigh Valley. Many showed up from the cards we handed out the day before, and some showed up from internet activity such as Craig's List and our website.
Nicole did an outstanding job with the kids! We had about 10 of them show up in various age categories, but they were excited by what they did and learned that morning.
Here are some pictures from the weekends events , just click this: Weekend Preview Service.
Overall, a very successful weekend! We are humbled by what God is beginning to do through us, but we are also pumped about what lies ahead!Thanks for following along!
Peace and One Love.

I always enjoy your updates man! Sounds like things went well last weekend and I am encouraged. Spent some time in prayer for you guys for the preview service. Know (as I know you do) that God is positioning you to be a tremendous influence and that it will spread to others, whom will pass it on to others, as long as you stay faithful. So, stay faithful! :)
