This week has been intense! When relocating a church, there are a million moving parts and each one needs attention. Our Management Team is doing an unbelievable job navigating this process. These people love Jesus, C3 Church, and people. They tirelessly and selflessly give of themselves continuously. You really can’t achieve a dream without a great team! I’m more than grateful.

I’m also grateful for the way the people of C3 have responded to our C3 Christmas project. Last Sunday we gave away over $10,000 to our members in envelopes with 20’s, 50’s and 100’s. The investment was and is to be an investment in our community. The challenge is to intentionally look for someone to help. You can’t spend it on yourself, and you can’t give it to the church, and we asked people to email us with what they’d done at christmas@c3orlando.com. The stories are rolling in – it’s amazing. There is something so powerful about focusing on the needs of others. We know that Jesus told us to love God and love others, but sometimes we get mission drift. We lose our focus and purpose. It’s interesting that Jesus said you and I would do even greater things than he did. If that doesn’t describe my life or my church, then the reason might be a lack of focus and intentionality.

I love the Barbaric nature of C3 – this Sunday we continue “Barbaric Grace” – we will look at another life principle that is helpful in reaching our potential and fulfilling our lives. Invest and Invite!

By the way, if you haven’t seen Insight East Orlando’s December Issue – check it out – they did an awesome article on C3 and our relocation (you can see the online version here – the hard copy is in stores all over East Orlando and mailed to some homes)! It’s coming …51 days…
