Highlights of 2009

I'm sure I'm gonna forget about 1,000+ memories worth writing down but here are a few highlights from 2009 that stand out to me. If you remember something worth while please leave a comment!

• We moved to Sunday mornings (from Friday nights) and we moved to the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Enfield, CT from the Longmeadow Community House in Longmeadow, MA.
• My longtime friend Scott Steglinski came to New Day for the first time on Easter Sunday and got saved and then later water baptized.
• New Day had our first water baptism (Neil Butler) on January 4th (we went on to baptize 17 others throughout the year).
• We broke 100 (total attendance) for 1st time Aug 16th and broke 100 (adults only) on Oct 4th.
• We baptized 6 people at once on Dec 13th.
• My old buddy from high school James Stephenson came to New Day for the first time, got saved and got water baptized shortly after.
• My brother Tony started coming to New Day cosistently and joined a growth group too.
• New Day started growth groups in Oct and had 69 of 75 sign up (our average adult attendance at the time was 75).
