Happy Birthday Delta!

Today marks the official 1 year birthday of Delta. We launched our Sunday services on January 21, 2007 on a very cold January day (not something I would recommend). Yesterday as we celebrated, it was eerily familiar as the temperature was hovering somewhere around 10 degrees. But we had a good crowd, some new visitors, and I was able to finish up our "Foolishness" mini-series by exploring craziness of church planting and where Delta is heading this next year as well as the future.

Yesterday evening we also had a special "constituting" service where we got to baptize a couple people, have our members officially adopt and sign our church constitution, and we installed our first Elders, yours truly and my good friend Charles Campbell. It was a great time to hear testimonies about how God is transforming lives in the Delta community and how God has knitted together this church. Our story really is the story of many people (which I likened to the highway system around Atlanta - very chaotic) and how God has intersected our journeys at just the right time and place.

So, happy birthday Delta! I look forward to see how God continues to work in and through us as we seek to love Him, see people's lives transform because of the Gospel, and watch us change the world.
