Welcome to Gateway Church's podcast.

Wherever you're tuning in from, we hope you're encouraged by today's message.

Well, good afternoon, Gateway Church.

How are you doing this afternoon?

Listen, we are so excited you chose to join us this weekend for our candlelight services.

And I do want to take a moment and welcome all of you here.

Also welcome those of you that are joining us online, that are part of our gateway gatherings,

our prison campuses.

And also, I want a very special welcome to our guest.

Can we give it up for all of those that they're here for the very first time?

We recognize that you could be anywhere right now and you chose to be with us and we're honored to have you.

And if you're here and you don't have a local church to call home and you want more information about how to get connected at Gateway Church, we would love to meet you personally. There are two ways we can connect. First of all, there's an area called Connect Central, which is located outside in the lobby, and we would love to meet you there. I'll be there along with some of our leaders. We'd love to answer any questions that you have, get to know you a little bit, and we also have a gift for you there. Also, if for whatever

reason you can't stop by Connect Central, you can simply text the word Connect to 71010, and we can

follow up with you there as well. Now, typically we have a countdown, one minute countdown just before

our service, but we're going to start this service a little bit differently. And so I want to let you know if you're out in the lobby or if you're here in the auditorium, I want to encourage you. If you want to start making your way to your seat, that way you won't miss the very beginning of that. We also understand that we have a lot of people here. Praise the Lord. And we want to let you know that if you can't find a seat, we also have additional seating, and we'll make sure we've got our overflow areas so you can have a place to really enjoy the service. And so I encourage you again to start making your way towards your seats as we get ready to start. In about a minute, the lights are going to go down, and we're going to begin with a special that I'm really excited about.

And I just want to tell you, how many of you are excited?

Pastor Daniel is concluding the series that we've been in where we're talking about Jesus and his names.

His name shall be called and we call him the wonderful counselor, the mighty God,

the everlasting father, and today we're going to talk about the Prince of Peace.

How many of you are excited to hear about the Prince of Peace?

It's going to be such a great weekend.

We're so excited.
