Amen. Welcome to the Church of 1122. We are at fledgling little church, not a little bit,

fledgling church. We're about four, a little over four years old, and so I guess that's

weekend we planted our Mandarin campus and we opened the doors for the very first time. So we'll say

welcome to the Mandarin campus. And I will have you know it was sold out packed on the very first

day there was about 1,200 people there so praise God for that amen and then also Bay Meadows

our pioneer of campus thing that was our first campus that we ever did there were over a thousand

people at that campus also and so the Mandarin campus is an old Lutheran church, and then the

Bay Meadows campus is at an old sports bar, so where people used to just go get drunk, now they
