Thoughts from the weekend

Thoughts from the weekend:

Busy, busy weekend.

What a delight it was to watch our Teen Bible Quiz teenagers in a match with other churches. 

Our kids know the Bible!

I am 100% behind memorizing the Bible.

Our church team won State!

On to regionals!

I was extremely pleased and proud of them.

Thanks to all of our adults leaders as well!

Our district youth director, Paul Hinzman, spoke last Thursday evening to our youth group.  Great guy.

Title of his message - Stop staring!

In other words, we are to not keep our gaze, our eyes on those who lead us or those around us - we are to keep our eyes on Jesus!

God is moving in our youth group!

I was thrilled as I watched 25 or more teenagers worshipping God around the altar.

Again - many thanks to our GREAT leadership team!

It was my privilege to baptize 5 people in water yesterday (two adults, three children). 

One of the women that was baptized came to our church through the following story:

A few weeks ago, she had set her GPS to go to Nordstrom's Rack, here in Orland Park (on a Sunday morning).  Her GPS instead lead her to our church.  As she drove up the driveway to Stone Church, the GPS stated, "you have reached your destination."

She decided to come into a service (the first time she had been in church in 20 years) and has been coming ever since!

Praise God!

Wonderful testimonies from our teenagers as they went to Ascension convention - they are "on fire" for God!

God is moving - by His Spirit!

Father, we desire renewal and revival!

Love you all,

George
