What We've Been Waiting For!

The vision began in our hearts November of 2008.
50 days of prayer began on November 30 leading up to our initial trip to the Bay Area on January 18, 2009.
Decision was made to start a church in the city of San Francisco on January 21.
15 partnering churches across the country committed to support Epic Church.
Church was named Epic and incorporated in March 2010.
Our staff moved to the city in May/June 2010.
We began meeting in our apartment on June 6.
We held 3 cookouts over the summer at our apartment complexes.
Our first launch team meeting was August 22.
We made new friends and started amazing relationships with the people of this city.
We purchased a van, trailer, and sound equipment in August.
We did a run-through in late September at our venue - the W Hotel.
[and there's so much more I could mention]

It was drawing near to our first preview service on 10.10.10.
Final preparations were being made.
I personally felt like we were preparing for a wedding! The girls on staff and other church planter wives will agree!

Epic mailed out 20,000 mailers in our target area. So, of course, our apartment received them. Well, on the day the postman delivered them, the boys were delighted to see so many going into the boxes. Also sad to see some thrown away later that day. (It happens.)

10,000 granola bars were bought out at Costco and stored in

our apartment for a week. Mission team from Shades Church in Birmingham, AL personally stapled an invite card to each granola bar and then personally handed every one of them out on the streets of our city.

The cards and granola bars were very well received.

A new friend of Epic Church ran an ad for us in the SF Chronicle on Saturday promoting our first preview service!

The boys have been WAITING for this day! The day to be at their HOME church. The day to go to the W Hotel. The day to play with the toys given at the Epic Kids Shower. The day to hear Mr. Brad sing with his guitar and the day to see daddy with 'that' mic on!
