1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
We are in reach 23. 
Well done, little bit of a pause

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,400
but World arm and what is reads,
23, if you're visiting or you 

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,500
haven't been here. 
But for the past couple of weeks

4
00:00:11,900 --> 00:00:14,900
reach last year, I launched 
reach, which is essentially our 

5
00:00:14,900 --> 00:00:18,900
10-year Vision. 
If you like to extend our reach 

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,200
to reach the Lost, thank you, 
Edward Cathy over there and this

7
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,200
really is something that we've 
done throughout the life of this

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:31,400
church for 35 plus years because
we recognize, that is the 

9
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,000
mission of the church, isn't it?
The mission? 

10
00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:38,800
Of the church is to proclaim the
gospel of Christ in word and in 

11
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,900
deed and so that is what we are 
doing and I launched reach last 

12
00:00:42,900 --> 00:00:45,300
year. 
And how are we going to reach 

13
00:00:45,300 --> 00:00:52,300
the lost by what creating Well 
done. 

14
00:00:52,300 --> 00:00:55,200
Excellent. 
That's exactly how we do it yet.

15
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:56,900
It's thank you. 
People are pointing to the 

16
00:00:56,900 --> 00:00:58,900
greeted by their Mark. 
Yes, I know. 

17
00:00:58,900 --> 00:01:03,000
But you you at least engaged? 
Well, that's creative spaces and

18
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,099
places. 
So last year we did some amazing

19
00:01:05,099 --> 00:01:07,500
spaces. 
Didn't we add the brand new 

20
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:10,600
youth Auditorium that we use 
throughout the week? 

21
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,000
The new Venture Land space and 
you Treasure Chest Ministry 

22
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,300
which is our special educational
needs Ministry many other 

23
00:01:18,300 --> 00:01:20,200
spaces. 
We launched that I'm probably 

24
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,800
going to forget in this. 
Moment, but we did lots of 

25
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:27,300
things and then places as we 
launch a new multi site model, 

26
00:01:27,300 --> 00:01:29,600
what does that mean? 
You know, historically, we have 

27
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,300
planted autonomous, churches 
out. 

28
00:01:32,300 --> 00:01:35,500
And we said, right off you go, 
go start a church, independent 

29
00:01:35,500 --> 00:01:37,600
churches. 
But what we're doing is what's 

30
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,700
called multi site. 
Where essentially, we set up 

31
00:01:39,700 --> 00:01:41,800
different geographical 
locations. 

32
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,600
One Church, many sites that we 
can extend our borders Beyond 

33
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,600
this building and as you guys 
all know Hatfield launched last 

34
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,100
year with our site pass, Has a 
general. 

35
00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:55,100
This is the fourth week that are
meeting on a Sunday. 

36
00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:56,400
Would you bless them? 
Lord. 

37
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,100
And we just seen so much fruit 
from that, which is so exciting.

38
00:02:00,700 --> 00:02:05,400
And so, this year, I recapped, 
in terms of spaces and places, 

39
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,600
we looked last week at spaces, 
the brand-new connect Lounge 

40
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,300
that, we're going to be building
this year and I love the way 

41
00:02:11,300 --> 00:02:13,200
Richard kind of position that 
for us. 

42
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,600
It's like the whole, when you go
to someone's house, they welcome

43
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,300
you in the hall. 
They take your coat. 

44
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,100
Would you like a drink? 
And that's what we don't have in

45
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:21,800
this place. 
People will To the huge 

46
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,500
building. 
The felt overwhelmed is 

47
00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:25,700
difficult to connect. 
We have a welcome desk that 

48
00:02:25,700 --> 00:02:27,100
people don't even realize, is 
there. 

49
00:02:27,500 --> 00:02:30,600
And so it connect Lounge, will 
be can be intentional on hosting

50
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,600
people. 
Well, and connecting people and 

51
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:37,100
having a pastoral component of 
that, in that space and and the 

52
00:02:37,100 --> 00:02:39,600
Bookshop as well, all of those 
things. 

53
00:02:39,700 --> 00:02:42,700
And then we spend time with the 
Edward looking at the brand new 

54
00:02:42,700 --> 00:02:45,900
Young Adult Ministry that we 
launched in, which is really 

55
00:02:45,900 --> 00:02:49,200
exciting. 
We're going to be launching a 

56
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,700
Sunday evening service. 
Probably September, although 

57
00:02:52,700 --> 00:02:56,300
timing to be confirmed and 
that's really exciting. 

58
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,900
Plus a ton of other initiatives 
as we focus on our young adults,

59
00:02:59,900 --> 00:03:02,600
18 to 25. 
And some of those stats Edward 

60
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,900
was sharing with regards to the 
thousands that we have on our 

61
00:03:05,900 --> 00:03:08,900
doorstep in the University. 
I met some, some students here 

62
00:03:08,900 --> 00:03:11,900
this morning for the first time 
from that very University, how 

63
00:03:11,900 --> 00:03:14,500
many 30,000? 
I think you said, 32,000, 

64
00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:19,200
apologies, I missed that 32,000 
on our doorstep, and that is 

65
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,700
really exciting. 
And so that brings us to today, 

66
00:03:22,700 --> 00:03:27,700
which is the places component of
reach 23 and it's worth saying 

67
00:03:27,700 --> 00:03:31,800
that next week. 
We're going to look at everyone 

68
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,700
gets to play, how we can be 
involved in reach a 23, because 

69
00:03:35,700 --> 00:03:40,600
as is of our Alum, a prophetess 
who spoke to us as a church 

70
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,900
before covid. 
Said, you know, let there's a 

71
00:03:42,900 --> 00:03:45,600
lot of resources in here that 
need to run, open the gates and 

72
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,500
let them run. 
You know this can't be done 

73
00:03:47,500 --> 00:03:49,400
without you. 
The reason we did are all that 

74
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,400
we did last year was because 
Because of you. 

75
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,000
And so we're going to be looking
at that next week.
