The Story: The Beginning →
Our first week of The Story is up on our website and iTunes. Also you can download the message notes and SOAP on the “Experience Page” incase you weren’t able to grab a SOAP out the door.

Loved this Post from Pete Wilson this morning. I agree. We have too many bored people who want something to complain about instead of being an agent of change.
Word on the street is that everyone tracked well with The Story - from our toddlers in pebble beach to kids in camp rock and adults in auditorium. Way to go Leaders!

“Religion vs The Gospel Part I” - here are the first two statements from yesterday’s Gathering. What are your thoughts?
My kind of Monday - overcast and not too hot. Why do I enjoy overcast days? Don’t know, but they make me very productive which is needed today!
Great morning at the Gathering with the Capstone Family. Lunch with the Dukes and then the start of Capstone Discovery. Excited about getting to know this group as they learn about Capstone!
Good Morning! Looking forward to The Gathering this morning. We got some very powerful and meaningful stuff happening today as we make the Gospel tangible through communion together.
Ended first week of half marathon training with first long run (4 miles). Shout Out to Marvin Tabor and Steve Allen for showing that long run they owned!
Pretty relaxing day of playing Mr Mom. Now down to Fridays by the Fountain for some summer time music.

Proud of @b_straw actually running on the first day of training. Even if it is at 10pm. #halfmarathontraining

Powerful morning at Capstone! Focused on the purpose of local church is not about our wants, but Reflecting God’s Reconciliation through Christ

Heading into Beaufort to take my awesome wife out for our fifth anniversary. Times flys when you are having fun!
For some reason I have been up since 3:30am. Never been that guy who ever had his sleep disturbed for a sermon. But I guess there is a first time for everything!
