Well, good morning, everybody. It's Saturday morning, and I wanted to show you guys something. We are getting ready to kick off our big upward basketball and cheerleading season here at our church, because you've heard me say it a hundred times. What the local church does to serve and reach families is so important. This is the gym. We got it set up. Our first couple of games are the little ones that play half court, and then we'll have the bigger kids that will go full court. So we have that set up. We'll have basketball players and cheerleaders in here pretty much all morning, all afternoon. And then one of the things that some of our staff does a great job of, they come out here and have this concession stand set up, and we'll put basketball on that TV right there for the dads to sit around and watch. So we really put a lot of energy and effort into this upward basketball season, again, so that we can reach families with the gospel. Basketball is wonderful. We enjoy it. It's great for the kids to learn how to win and lose. It's great for them to learn how to be on a team, how to depend on somebody else and have somebody else depend on you. But man, our ultimate goal is to point people to Jesus. And if you don't have a church and you're looking for a church to be a part of that can serve your family, we would love to do that. But if you're a pastor or a leader watching this, I mean, I'd really encourage you to do everything that you can do to reach families, to be able to reach not just the kids, but the moms, dads, uncles, grandparents. That's what all these stands and chairs will be packed with adults coming to watch the little ones. So I just want to encourage you to reach out to the family, serve the families of your community so that we can grow the gospel together. Listen, God bless. If I can do anything for you, shoot me a message, let me know.
