FRIDAY, November 20: Groundswell United!

All 6th-12th graders, joint us next Friday for Groundswell United (Upstate Edition). Groundswell is a movement of next generation worshippers at Seacoast who want to see their generation become fully devoted followers of Christ.

This service for the upstate campuses will feature students from the Greenville, Irmo and Columbia student ministries. The festivities begin at 6:00 pm with lots of food, air hockey, foosball, Wii, open mic, and other fun stuff. The service part of the evening will start at 7pm in the Worship Center and conclude at 8:30pm.

This will be an EPIC NIGHT, with a kickin’ worship band, dramas, games, prizes and a fresh message from our guest speaker, Brandon Hair (Youth Pastor @ Summerville). Bring a friend or two and join us at the Columbia Campus (1955 LeGrand Rd, Columbia).

  We invite you to join us in giving thanks for all God's many blessings, including spending time with our new Pastor and his family.  The Date is this Wednesday, the 18th, at 6:30pm.  We'll provide the turkey, gravy and drinks and our life groups will make sure we have plenty of dressing and potatoes.  But if dressing and potatoes are where you shine then bring it on!  The rest of you are asked to bring your favorite vegetable, ham or dessert dish.

And so it began...Sunday, September 27th immediately after the second service, approximately 100 people helped the demolition of the stage and soundbooth in the worship center and began the 3-week process of cleaning, painting, building, designing and planting.  

Week one involved demolition of the stage and reconstruction of a new sound booth. The auditorium was repainted.  Children's ministry rooms were cleaned, organized and Harbor Town and Zone 45 each received a new look and new stuff.  Our nursery for babies was finished, ready for our expanding needs.  The bathrooms also underwent a new facelift.  Each night saw 20-30 volunteers, many of whom where there several nights in a row! 

Week two was detail week.  All the little stuff that required more attention started the week and the stage began taking shape on Wednesday.  Thanks to a hard working team of volunteers who worked through the night Friday and all day and night Saturday, the stage was built and the Campus was ready for services on Sunday!

We are now into week three and have a dozen or so small projects that still need to be completed.  The carpeting of the stage, hanging a curtain around the front, finishing a tech upgrade in Harbor Town, some plumbing, painting the parking fences, a few coats of poly on the doors and then we'll be done!

The incredible effort to accomplish such a major project was extraordinary!  Thousands of volunteer hours demonstrated the kind of church environment we are currently studying in our Message series on Acts.  We all came together and accomplished something bigger than ourselves.  Many volunteers came from another Seacoast Campus and many served so amazingly by providing food and drinks to feed the workers or care for their children.  It has been a great journey and our prayer is that as a result we will reach more people with the life changing message of Jesus Christ.
