September 11th & 12th, 2004

Here are some highlights:

Saturday, September 11 at 11 a.m. - Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony

Guest pastors, Mitch Smith, Keith Stuarte and Pastor Hill, Stafford City Councilman Jeff Smith, and several other key people, including architect Steve Upham, were present at the actual ribbon cutting, along with the congregation of Brighton Church.   Wonderful cookies and punch were served after the ceremony.  The KSBJ Family Fun Patrol was there handing out prizes and broadcasting from their van!

Saturday at 7:30 p.m. — Proclaiming the Vision

Guest speakers Mitch Smith and Keith Stuarte encouraged the congregation to continue to move in God's Will as a growing church and to take the next step as a congregation.  What is your burden?  What is your vision? Our children had a wonderful evening together doing arts and crafts and creating fun projects.

Sunday, September 12 at 10:30 a.m. — Celebration Service

After musical guests, Tapestry, played as people entered our new foyer, our dynamic worship team lead the congregation in praise and worship.  After a special tribute to 9/11, Pastor Mark McClimens dedicated the facility and taught us how to dedicate our lives to our Messiah, His message, and our mission to spread that message. David Ello wonderfully entertained and taught the children about talents.Tapestry finished our service with lively Irish reels.  A catered fajita lunch made it easy to visit with people after the service.
