Phil Pringle: Inspired to Pray: The Art of Seeking God
Really great shot in the arm to my prayer life... (****)
Kevin Roose: The Unlikely Disciple: A Sinner's Semester at America's Holiest University
So far, very interesting... (****)
Reggie Joiner: Think Orange: Imagine the Impact When Church and Family Collide...
Great book on Family focused church ministry...just diving in to it... (***)
I got up to start 1st service yesterday, and this was what I saw in the front row…mounds and mounds of Coke Zero (my drink of choice). One of our Life Groups had conspired to honor their pastor in a tangible way, and this is how they expressed it. I love it (the drink and the thought)…Thanks!
Really great article today from Tim Stevens on how he regulates technology with his kids. Even if you don't agree with it all, read it through and think through this stuff!
And this evening it was the Friesner's showing off their mad irish dancing skills, leading them to the prize of a 5 pound Hershey chocolate bar…Hello!
An amazing 23 families came out for tonight's kick off of our Bring It Home nights in March. Connecting parents and kids to each other and God…what a great night!
It's not too late! You still have 4 more opportunities to join us over the next few weeks!
Had a great time sharing a vision message this past Sunday. Forgot to mention 2 very important random things:
1) In 2009, we have on record 45 people who made decisions to follow Christ through Pathway! I love it…
2) Do you know what one of the easiest ways to win someone to Jesus is? Bring them to church with you! Invite them this week!
Someone at Pathway has a need for an Adult Tricycle…they have no other means of transportation given their physical challenges…does anyone have one out there they aren't using? Would love to hook this guy up with some transportation. Let me know…
Just dug into this book…written in short 2 page chapters/thoughts on prayer. Really a powerful shot in the arm to my prayer life. Would encourage any of you to get the book…
Now I'm not saying what this 5 pound Hershey's candy bar (yes, I said 5 pounds of chocolate) is doing sitting on my desk right now...BUT...if I were you, and you were a parent with Pre-school to 5th grade age kids...I'd suggest you give God an opportunity to move in your family and your taste buds every Wednesday in March!!!
We're calling these nights "Bring it Home!" When I was a kid I used to love Little League Baseball. I remember one time I was running toward third, and my coach yelled at the top of his lungs, "BRING IT HOME SCOTT...BRING IT HOME!" That basically meant that I was to get my chubby little self around third and on to home plate right now. Don't stop at third, bring it all the way home and score the run!
That's the whole idea behind these Wednesday night's in March. Our Sunday morning Kids staff at both campuses do a great job of bringing it week after week to your kids. Now, let's bring it home!
We want to create an evening where parents don't just drop off their kids, but they stay and interact with their kids. They interact in games, teaching, worship, etc. As follow up, there will be discussion questions and other things sent home with you to discuss at home. Bringing the faith we learn about at church, home!
This is the first time we've ever attempted anything like this, so I'm sure we are going to learn a lot...but...I can tell you this...it is going to be something you don't want to miss! Let us know on your yellow card this week if you are planning on being a part...or shoot Megan (meganm @ pathwayag.com…separated to keep it from spam detection) an email today!
