Movies in the Park... Amazing!

Amazing!!! What an incredible night tonight was. Our first Movies in the Park event could not have been better. After 1900 hits on our MoviesInTheParkHarrisburg.com website yesterday, I was a little concerned that we would be completely overwhelmed with 12,000 people. However, this time we were ready. At 8:15 the Cabarrus County Sheriffs Dept. called the park “full” and a few thousand people enjoyed a great night featuring “The Bee Movie” and tons of smiles. Every detail seemed to be covered right down to having bug spray for people! Unfortunately, we had to turn some people away due to space but that was the plan to eliminate overcrowding and make the experience enjoyable for the 2000-3000 people that were there.

I love being able to express the love that I have for people and even more I love seeing you guys at UCF express that love to your friends and neighbors. Tonight our love was LOUD! It speaks loudly to serve people with something that they obviously want and enjoy. It gives us the opportunity to show love in ways that they easily receive and gives God the opportunity to change some people’s minds about what people who follow Christ look and act like. I have so much confidence in the people who serve at UCF. I can only imagine that we are going to be needing more on Sunday mornings because of the new people that will be giving church another try because of tonight’s event. But even if people don’t show up at UCF because of this movie, tonight they know we care.

I have to get some sleep… AIDS walk is tomorrow and I am expecting to see another 100 UCF servants bight and early in uptown Charlotte at 9:00. Meet at the stage to get your newly designed UCF t-shirts to walk in. And thanks for caring for the forgotten and the suffering. See you in 7 hours!!!

Thanks for loving loud!
