Box Score for Weekend of August 6/7

Here’s the "box score" for this past weekend at Granger Community Church.

Music: "Something’s Missing" by John Mayer; "Come Home Running" by Chris Tomlin; "Only Grace" by Matthew West

Message: "Bridge the Gap: The Way" — Mark Beeson, Senior Pastor, culminated an incredible three-week journey where we purposely and clearly communicated what Jesus did for us to bridge the gap between us and God that was created by our sin. The first week we focused on the separation caused by our sin. The second week we took a look at who Jesus is and what he did by dying on the cross for us. The third week, we gave people the invitation to commit their lives to Jesus Christ and enter into a relationship with him.

Service Highlights: At the conclusion of the message this weekend, an invitation was given to allow people to receive Jesus Christ and to follow him for the rest of their lives. We invited people to mark the moment by crossing a bridge that had been erected on the platform. It was an amazing weekend. We’re still compiling the information to determine how many people made decisions this weekend, but it appears that almost 10% of our weekend crowd accepted Christ. Incredible!

Stats: 4,661 total attendance (3,667 adults + 994 kids); 12.6% increase from the same weekend last year

Percentage of weekend attendance by service:

1. Sun 10:15 am = 29%
2. Sat 5:30 pm = 20%
3. Sun 11:45 am = 18%
4. Sat 7:30 pm = 17%
5. Sun 8:45 am = 15%

Final Notes: Next weekend we will begin talking about next steps for people to take after they’ve committed their lives to Christ. Those steps will include baptism and various other opportunities including serving, classes and groups to encourage people in their new relationships with Jesus. We have a series that will begin in two weeks called "NUME" that will focus on the new life we have in Christ.
