Well once again let me say “WOW!” Yes, it was a wonderful first weekend at North Campus. Thank you again for all of you who prayed, worked and invited. The greatest part of launching our campus is that we now get to do it every weekend. Below are a couple of reminders for each of us this weekend.

• Be in your spots early. We want to make sure and be prepared before our guests arrive. Talk to your team leader about when exactly they want you in your spot.
• Park in the back or away from the main doors. Our parking lot team will have a few of you park closer to the entry ways so that it looks like we have a crowd but if they don’t ask you then go ahead and park farther away.
• Be intentional about greeting people you do not know. The best conversation starter is: “How long have you been coming to Forest Park?” This way, if they are a long time member and you do not know them, nobody is embarrassed by being called a guest. Also, be intentional about greeting before the service starts in the Auditorium. Our guests usually arrive and head in to the service. So let’s make sure and make the rounds inside before the service starts as well as when we all greet each other in the service.
• Fill out your Communication Card. This will help encourage our guests as they see everyone else doing so.
• Sit toward the front and in the middle. I know we are Baptists, but let’s leave those seats for our guests and late arrivals.
• Next week is our first baptism service. If you know of anyone who needs to be baptized or has talked to you about it, let me know.

I am looking forward to seeing you this week! Normal launches will drop in number after the first week, but we do not have to drop our excitement, excellence and prayers. Keep doing the small things and always, always continue to Invest, Invite and Involve people at our campus and in your circle of friends outside the campus.
