We have a problem at Gig Harbor Church of the Nazarene. It is the kind of problem that is fun to have. Every pew was full!!!

One year ago, our morning worship attendance was 50, and we were excited to have 50. This morning, we had 143!!

Thanks to all of you who have prayed for Gig Harbor Church of the Nazarene. Now you can start praying that the Lord will give us wisdom concerning how to continue to grow with a full sanctuary.

It looks like you may have to go to two services.

I pray that someday we can grow in size in our Church.

Once again demonstrates that a crisis, when addressed with prayer and wisdom, becomes an opportunity.

What a wonderful problem to have! I think the Lord helped you to get just the right pastor. God bless Gig Harbor Nazarene!

By the looks of your church, you could hang 'em from the rafters! :)

We may have to hang people from the rafters. In the past, we have considered capcaity to be around 150. Until today, we have not had to be more precise because we have not gotten close. In looking around this morning, I believe we can get 160 in, but no more.

With Easter coming, we will have to come up with a plan -- probably two services. We can't do video to another room because the children use the fellowship hall during the service.

"Satellite" opportunities seems to be very up and coming in some of the churches on our district.
Do you have the facilities to set up a place for "Satellite" services?
