- A great crowd and evenly spread out through all three services. I think everyone forgot it was summer (LOL)!
- A great offering! WOW! I actually had someone ask if there was a misprint on the offering sheet in the office. I am happy to say there wasn't. Over $10,000! And it wasn't even the first Sunday of the month! A heartfelt thanks from this preacher for your "faith in action" even during a very tough economic time. I am amazed and humbled once again! To God be the glory!
- A great sermon! Now, before you think I am blowing my own horn, it was NOTHING about me! God took this one and ran with it! "Train a child" as both parents and the church. What a win/win! Thank you God for showing up and taking charge!
- A great time of worship through song! Dan did a great job leading our band and leading us to the Throne of God. It was so cool to hear everyone singing out and to watch everyone in the band play their hearts out for God!
- A great testimony of healing! Wasn't it great to get the report that Dottie is cancer free! It was a total miracle since she has not started medicine! WOW! God rocks!
- A great response to Proverbs! In all three services there was a loud applause when asked if everyone was current on their reading! It was a sweet sound to this preacher. Keep up the great work even if you are a little (or a lot) behind! Praise the Lord we also had more families sign up to read with us!
- A great job with Memory! In each service folks raised their hands to say they had memorized Proverbs 1:7. We had folks in every service share the verse from memory, way to go! I also heard later that several people didn't raise their hands because they knew I would call on them?! You sure know me well or did Julie Gregory talk to you! LOL!
- A great Recognition! I love Graduate Sunday! It is always so cool to "stroll down memory lane". It is a special time for a church to honor and celebrate with our High School and College Graduates. The video tribute was awesome! Congrats to all our graduates. I love you and am very proud of your accomplishments on this earth and for the Kingdom of God!
It wasn't a perfect day, but it sure was a great day! I just love my LCC family! I am honored to serve as your pastor! Can it get better? Will it get better? YES and YES! I can't wait to see what God is going to do next week, and I don't even have a sermon ready yet! :o) Pray for me!
B. OUT!!
