Transition (a.k.a. "Change is Good") (4/06)

A memorable Saturday evening service where Phil passed the torch and Jim became lead pastor while Phil moved into an apostolic pastor role. In addition to the announcement, the Holy Spirit moved in an incredibly powerful way - the last of the people didn't leave until 3am! Awesome!
