Where'd it go?

I just realized that 2008 is "out of here"!! It seemed like only yesterday I was getting ready to see what was ahead for 2008, and now it's 2009. Where'd it go?......Did this seem like a quick year? I thought so; until I looked back at all that happened in '08.....and this was an amazing year......an amazing year.

Kannapolis Campus.....Brian Duncan (Campus Pastor) joins HRCC staff, full-time; Ron Loflin joins HRCC staff as full-time Pastor of Denton Campus; baptisms at all 3 campuses; outreach at Thresher's Reunion, North Cabarrus Park, and Dan Nicholas Park; hosted Rowan Baptist Associational Meeting; "Fireproof" sellout at Tinsel Town; "I Hate High Rock Church" billboard; 90 day God's Guarantee Card; Nikita Koloff at Denton Anniversary; "Econo-Me"; a virtual tour of new Worship Center; "God Of This City"; there's a house on the stage.... with a picket fence; "www.whateverittakes.us"; "Reel2Real". The more I sit here and think, the more things I remember that happened in '08. I'm afraid that if I mention everything that comes to mind in this blog, you may not take the time to travel back through your memories and recall all the things that you saw this year.

Right here, at the beginning of 2009, I encourage us all to look back and see how God moved at HRCC this past year; how God used you, the church, to be His hands and feet to the community; how you stepped when God spoke. When we look back, we see how He "never let go" of us; and as we look ahead.....we are reminded that "greater things are still to be done here".
