Saturday Meeting This Week

The title says it all ... sort of. We will meet @ the Piedmont Community Church Building @ 6PM for a time of worship and to wrap up our time in Nehemiah. Following worship we will have a brief meeting to make sure that we have all of the bases covered for the "Haven" event. (serving BBQ and doing an egg hunt for the wee ones) We will be really informal and a bit different this week. No lights, no bells, no whistles. Acoustic music and a discussion on following through on what we hear God say to us.

Of course this means we will not meet on Sunday this week.

We will meet at the 9th grade campus auditorium on Easter Sunday.

The 9th grade auditorium is directly across the street from First Baptist Church Boiling Springs on Hwy 9.

It Rained ... and rained... and rained. It's still raining!

It is a good thing we did not plan for a really big first day. We would have been really bummed! As the title suggests, the only thing coming in droves was rain.

We did have 14 new-people-first-time-curious folks. Matt led us in a great worship set and we started building our wall. (From the book of Nehemiah)

We are grateful for the help of some good friends who drove over in the rain to help us out.

If the cold rain kept you away, we'd love to see you next week. As a matter of fact some of you may be reading this because you received a flyer after March 15th. We would love for you to check us out at the ninth grade auditorium at 10:07!

You can view a few pictures of our environment here. We hope to get some more pictures next time.

Just 7 Days

Next Sunday is our first official day. We call it "official" because we had a little practice along the way. I suspect we got all of the bugs worked out as well as we can considering our lack of resources. By most accounts things have gone really well on our three preview/practice Sundays. This Sunday, March 15, we will begin meeting full time. We may not always meet on Sunday morning, but we will meet. We are in talks with several different people about the use of their buildings. But for now we will be meeting at the 9th grade campus auditorium. 

Opening day marks the beginning of a sermon series entitled "re-build" we will be looking at parts of the book of Nehemiah as we seek to explore ways to re-build the broken things in our lives, families and our city. Join us as we seek to make a difference in Boiling Springs. 

Have You Given Up On Church?

I know that many of you have dropped out of church in recent years. I have heard a number of different reasons. And what I've noticed is that the majority of folks who have given up on church haven't given up on God.

Whether you just stopped going or there was an experience or problem that caused you to not ever want to go again, we want to invite you to try church again.

Threshold Church is different from anything you have ever experienced. If you give us a try this Sunday, we believe that you will be glad you tried church one more time. This Sunday we are meeting at the 9th Grade Campus Auditorium on Hwy. 9 across the street from First Baptist Church at 10:07 a.m.


Check out this blog and also our official web site for more info about why Threshold is so different. . . See you Sunday.

Hanging Out At The Haven

Last night we had the opportunity to provide food for The Haven's event and hang out with the people that live there.
We met some great people!
Local businesses partnered with us on this event and we were able to give out approx. 20 Gift Certificates.


The girls that work in the office and coordinate the events there are great!
We set up Guitar Hero on the pool deck on the big screen and had a great time letting people show off their skills. I heard they were coming out with Piccolo Hero.


In 20 years of doing church... the best event ever!

Clicking on the BLOG

Today I noticed that my blog numbers were down from yesterday. We can't be having that!

By posting a blog today, everyone that subscribes will get an email telling them there is new exciting information. This may or may not be true but they will click on the blog and my numbers will be up.

This will result in me feeling successful!

I am on my way to a meeting of The Cypress Project, ROCK HILL to share with new planters. Sometimes I am amazed that the little bit of information in my head is worth sharing.

As a grad. of The Cypress Project I know they are otherwise getting good information and I am quite certain their perspective on the purpose of a new church will be forever changed.

For me, I went in thinking that I just needed to "DO CHURCH" better than anyone else in the area. Of course I soon realized that I had no money, no equipment, no building and eight people.

Then I found out that Jesus had a little different idea than the use of gimmicks, first class programming and buildings. He went around meeting people at their point of need and eternally changing the direction of their life.

That we can do!

Look back tomorrow night for information on The Haven event!

Full disclosure - There is no official graduation from The Cypress Project! At the end of 10 months they just send you packing.
