Reflection on the day brings me to the word REDEMPTION. God is in the business of redeeming His people. He takes the old, sinful man and brings him back to life. We began our morning focusing on this verse - 2 Corinthians 5:15-17 - 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. 16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All of us are in need of a Savior. We are all broken and poor. It is only because of Jesus that we have hope and purpose. He redeems us and transforms us into a NEW CREATION! Praise the Lord!
Both BROWN TEAM and ORANGE TEAM combined for a day at Captivate East Baltimore for a Block Party for the community. We set up 3 bounce houses, basketball goal, AWESOME DJ!!, sidewalk chalk, face painting, balloon animals, fingernail painting, hot dogs, snow cones and more!! Man, it was a huge undertaking. Our team served so well in the heat as we were able to witness to many children and families today. Through the bead bracelets, we were able to share the love of Jesus to many, and over 150 contacts for Captivate East Baltimore were registered for follow up! It was a great day!
Pastor Tally - pastor over all three Captivate Churches in Baltimore, spent the afternoon with us and shared his story of Redemption as well. It was a fantastic time as we heard his own story of God moving in his life and giving him a vision to reach this great city. Look for his video to be posted soon.
We were so exhausted after our day that we took the night to visit the inner harbor of Baltimore and eat some great seafood together and hang our feet off the pier for a while, laughing and reflecting on our day together.
God continues to move and redeem his people, and we know it begins with us! Thanks for the prayers and continue to lift us up as we enter tomorrow at Church of the Harbor.
Prayerfully yours - Keith and Team
