Man, we had an awesome morning at Iron City today.  Our folks did a great job serving, the music was smooth, and I felt like the message went well.  The only downside was that half of our people decided to take the day off.  I’m calling it “Ouch Sunday.”  I’m not sure if it was the gorgeous fall weather or what, but to say that we were a little slim today would be a huge understatement.  We had a total of 27 in attendance this week.  That’s a low point for us so far, but we still had 3 first timers and they seemed excited.  We’re going to have to spend some serious energy this week working and praying to make more new contacts and follow up with the people that have been coming. 

We started a new series called “Building Blocks” this week, from 2 Peter 1:5-9.  I talked today about laying a foundation of faith – how any good building project has to begin with a solid foundation.  The message download is here.  I’ve been in a funk the last couple of weeks with my preaching, but I felt much better (more like myself) today. 

The hard thing about a week like this one when attendance is down is that there is no clear reason for it.  I’ll be spending a bunch of time praying and trying to diagnose what’s happening.  All in all, it was still a great day though!
