Thoughts on a Sunday morning

Mar 29

It was the most pathetic sound I've ever heard.

"Good morning. Today we continue our series 'Soul Food; how to feed yourself' with a message called 'Feeding through giving'. That's right folks, we're having the money talk!"

Out of 600 people, maybe 4 people reacted................nervously. The rest, well if you were there you know, and if you've attended a service where the message was on money......you know.

It was a great message and I was blessed with the opportunity to be a part of it and share about God's faithfulness in my life and finances. I pray that people would really get this one and put God first in EVERYTHING in their lives.

The worship team did a great job. We pulled out a new song for our church, 'Let God Arise'. Awesome song and gave Rob Murray a chance to lean into his amp and pull some pretty huge feedback. Not something we do everyday, but I could get used to it!

It was a really busy weekend for all of us on staff and Pastor Jim, who regularly plays with this team, opted out. God bless him because he got Luke Pelz to sub for him. Luke played for us last week and I had thought that he was on his way to Alberta. I was more that happy to have him play! He did an awesome job and once again, I am so sad that he's has to leave us. Something in me says that he won't be gone forever, though. I feel like God has a plan for PCC and Luke and I can't wait to see what that is.

I like having more than one song after our offering time. It allows for transition between songs that begs for response from the congregation. It's not that this can't happen within the frame work of one song, it's just a preference.

Highs
Luke Pelz. God is developing one powerful testimony in that man.
