Your Bible is go to Acts chapter 21.

Acts chapter 21.

That is where we will be.

And as you're looking that up, I've got a couple of announcements, a little housekeeping to do.

Last week, we finished a series called Rescued from an Ordinary Life, and we got to finish up the series by being the rescuers.

And we did our Compassion Sunday, and I just wanted to fill you in on where we are there. Up to this point, last weekend, and even in our last few services, we've sponsored

776 children.

Yay.

Now, let me tell you how that's crazy, because after our 522 service, I was out to dinner with

a guy named Kevin Myersyers who's on staff with

compassion international they always send a few people here for our weekends and so we're just

having dinner at nippers and and hanging out and i get a text from one of our producers and says hey

you know we sponsored at that point it was 740 kids we sponsored a few more over this weekend but

at that point 740 and i just said oh wow kevin we sponsored 740 kids we sponsored a few more over this weekend but at that point 740 and I just said

oh wow Kevin we sponsored 740 kids and then he said he just was like that is the third largest

compassion event in the history of compassion international right and that's just like our weekend okay

now and I didn't even think I was trying that hard because

because you guys are so awesome about it and you've sponsored so many kids and I just was trying to be

nice about it so last week that's as nice as it gets and so that's that's actually up to 776 now

so I don't know where that ranks but I do um I do know that, all right, so what's the number one? Who sponsored

the most kids ever? And he said, all right, one weekend, we had a church of 25,000 people

sponsored 1,200 kids. So we're not 25,000, but we've sponsored 776 in one weekend.
