4th of July Weekend Not the Blues

4th of July weekend for churches is hold your breath time and hope people show up…unfortunately…however we are very happy to report that we had a great start to July. 4th of July weekend was a win!! We finished up our mini-series called “Wasting Time with God.” Wesley Van Fleet did a great job of sharing his testimony and talking about how he puts God first by wasting time with Him.

What a great day. We were thrilled to see so many people at Seven SD. It is so strange in a new area of ministry to try to gauge the patterns, mainly because there are no patterns in a new church. So, when so many people showed up today, on a day that “normally” would be a low attendance day we couldn’t help but get a little giddy. We’re not fooling ourselves, there is much work to be done, we’ve far from “arrived.” There is so much I want to do and often I feel far behind where I want to be. But, it is encouraging to know we’re on the right track. I have been praying Matthew 9:37-38, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few, ask the Lord of the harvest to send the workers.” There are so many areas in our ministry where I can see God bringing someone to fill the void. We’re getting there, we’ve got a long ways to go, but today was one of those “wins”. New churches need wins, especially when there seems to be so many tough days.

I’m looking forward to next week as we start our brand new series “Tabloid Jesus”. We will continue to build on the momentum as summer heats up.

Missions Meeting

26 Thursday Jun 2008

Getting ready for a missions meeting of sorts. We are partnering with San Miguel Community Church to do a community wide Youth Olympics for kids in K-6th grades. We will also do this in conjunction with a church from Houston Texas who will send a team of 25 young people here to help us with this event. It’s really cool to be able to partner with other churches in and near the community as well as churches all over country. We really need to have a team mentality when trying to reach this huge community. So, this is one event where a couple of churches will reach out to the community together to show we are ONE CHURCH. Today’s meeting will be full of planning, laughing, pizza, and excitement as we figure out how best to get the word out and get some kids fired up to participate.

Celebrating my friend and mentor Tom Mercer @theoikosmovement and 38 years of ministry @highdesertchurch . Tom has recently handed off the leadership of HDC to @toddarnett . I am so grateful for Tom. This is a group pastors and leaders, some of whom were in our @tm.churches mentor group that Tom led for over 12 years … driving down from the High Desert, 3 hours each way to help all of us learn and grow as leaders. We love you Tom!
Here we go again. The vaccines.  Here we go again. A virus.
Still celebrating Sunday’s 93 Baptisms… notice… ALWAYS smiles from people after being baptized— “There’s joy in the Lord!” No matter how dark our culture gets- the Light of Jesus Christ our Savior will shine through!
93 lives committing to follow Christ! What a day @skylinechurch baptisms and summer nights celebration.

Slow Grow
St. Louis. great conference, for the most part, @wesleyanchurch lots still to change but a lot of good came out of this gathering as well. This is a movement (denomination) committed to the primacy of the Lord Jesus Christ and the inerrancy of Scripture! Two non-negotiables for me, for @skylinechurch and many other churches. Glad to see the WC reaffirm this at general conference. Also, catching a Cardinals game was a nice side benefit as well as seeing an the actual Red Bird when we arrived in STL. And the Gateway Arch is truly amazing… a marvel of engineering genius.
