Thoughts from the weekend

Thoughts from the weekend:

I can't tell you how grateful I am to the Lord at the number of people who raised their hand in the second service - signifying that they wanted to start or (restart) a relationship with Christ.

Our worship continues to be lead by the Holy Spirit - anointed by God.

While we plan, while we work, while we plant seed and water, only God can bring in the harvest.

Father, may we see the fruition of our work!

May you show us your favor!

Debbie and I attended a life group leader's luncheon yesterday after the second service.

What a feast we had!  David Dewes brought children and ribs - "fall off the bone ribs."

Some of the best I have ever had!

Many thanks to David and Rick Maldener for leading this endeavor!

If you are attending a life group - try one out!

Life groups are a wonderful way of connecting your non-churched friend to Christ - and to Stone Church!  While they may not come (initially) to a Sunday morning service - they will probably consider going to a home for a time of food and fellowship.

We continue to receive testimonies of people reconnecting or connecting to Christ in our life groups!

Small groups are a venue where a person can relax, be themselves, worship God and share personal needs.

My privilege to dedicate three kids, "unto the Lord" yesterday.  I appreciate the responsibility that parents feel in doing this.

Symbolic acts have meaning as a person comes with the right motivation of heart and spirit.

Derek Rose needs to step up and play for the Chicago Bulls.  Now is the time.

Love you all......
