Last night marked the beginning of 2010 for Aletheia Tampa. The Marshall Center opened it’s wonderful doors again which meant we could finally hold our weekly worship experiences after a long 4 week lay off. I could tell that our volunteer army really missed it because they were a little extra fired up last night. And we needed that fire, let me tell you. Once again, we found ourselves in a different room, a better room at that. Our new location facilitated a much more inviting environment to do what we do, but it was much larger than last semester’s location, so we had to get creative to fill some extra space…and that is what our crew did. They made it happen and the room looked great in the end.

We had a great service. With school not even being back in session yet, we had a relatively large group out, everybody seemed to be excited, and everything went off without a major glitch…not counting the breaker being tripped during set-up or Ashlee’s Mac malfunctioning during rehearsal of course. But once things got kicked off, everything went perfectly. God answered our prayers, brought people out, the band rocked the house, and the truth was elevated. I am really encouraged right now and can’t wait for the coming weeks to see what God does on the campus of USF and in the city of Tampa through this little budding ministry. I get to serve God with the finest team and I am so grateful for all that they do. They were amazing last night once again.

Praise the Lord for His faithfulness! Enjoy these images…
