our last sunday at starbucks! we're moving!
(entry written by kristine)
from 12 at our first meeting... to 14... and today 23. We have officially outgrown starbucks!
we were packed in like sardines.today's service was awesome. one of our member's, joe pla, had an awesome idea. last week he suggested "instead of livewire blessing our church members with coffee, why don't we use that money to bless the day-to-day customers that walk through the doors while we're there!" so, that's what we did and it was amazing. people were intrigued by the generosity, grateful, some even donated money to livewire, and some even just stood around to listen to josh preach. it was very moving.
next week we will meet at a new location (click on flyer with plug) where we will have more space and room for childcare. we plan to continue our relationship with starbucks... they have been so welcoming and accomodating. they truly went above and beoynd; we couldn't have asked for more. thank you lord for your provision as we have put our trust in you. you are amazing!

(entry written by kristine)
it was a little chilly on sunday morning as the folks of ::livewire:: began filing into starbucks. josh greeted everyone in the parking lot as i stayed warm inside (lol) sipping starbucks & chatting as everyone found a comfy seat on the couch or a soft chair. we kicked off at 9:12 with prayer and a few exciting announcements... one of which is that the articles of incorporation are officially approved. We are legaly livewire church, inc! AND... josh has start
ed working part time. woo hoo! no more ramen noodles for us, lol! (j/k). next josh opened his bible and began sharing an encouraging and challenging message. i saw some tears as he was teaching...in his eyes and in the eyes of others as god moved on all of our hearts. monday we as a church fasted from lunch and prayed that god would provide the perfect meeting place: we are definitely going to outgrow starbucks soon! so, today we fasted... and TODAY we received a phone call with what could be the perfect meeting place! keep it in prayer. it's very exciting! we'll be visiting the facility tomorrow. it's just so exciting to surrender our lives completely to god and to watch him work out his perfect will as we give our lives totally to him. lord thank you for blessing us. thank you for your provision. may ::livewire:: be a representation of your beauty and may we glorify you in everything we do.

this past sunday, february 1st livewire's first service was held at starbucks on pine ridge roa
d at 9:12am. for a couple weeks now we had been excited and anticipating this first service. at starbucks that morning there were a total of 12 (10 adults and 2 children) in attendance. a few were simply there to support our first service, a few visited because they are searching for a church, and others connected with us beforehand as they connected with the vision.
it was a great morning as we set up a laptop and material in starbucks. the area we took over was like a living room. we decided beforehand to buy a drink for everyone as they came in, 1) for starbucks, so we could make an impression on them (we didn't just want to use up their space and only buy 1 or 2 drinks) and 2) we wanted to thank our guests for coming out and supporting livewire. on that note, don't go expecting coffee and pastries every week now. LOL
everyone was excited and seemed to anticipate the service with us. i didn't have to throw anyone out for improper attire (the dress was casual) in case you were wondering. we started out by showing an intro video which is posted below. then kristine shared how we got to where we are now and the vision of livewire. the lord tied that in with the message he had me prepare entitled "live wires".
after the service we paid our bill to starbucks and asked for their feedback. they thought the group meeting was great and even tried to listen when they could. they were definitely open to us coming back this sunday. we also picked up a gift card from target beforehand to give to starbucks as a small token to thank them for the use of the facility.
thank you again starbucks, thank you to all our guests at the first livewire service, thank you new hope ministries for sending us out, thank you to all of you who are praying for us, and thank you lord jesus christ for everything.
