I thought Sunday was a good day. I love seeing our youth helping out with our children.
The Middle School Basketball team that Brett Vines and I coach for WCC is absolutely tearing it up. We are now officially 7-0. I don't know if this is good or bad, but we beat a team so bad Saturday night the other team's coach got mad at Brett and me. What do you do? I blamed it on Brett and his over the top competitive nature. Ha.....
We have more new faces walking through our doors recently at WCC than we have ever had in the life of our church. Thank you for investing and inviting!!
I had a friend of mine attend church on Sunday for the first time. This guy is studying to be a minister and so he spends a lot of time checking out other churches. I asked him to grade us out. He used the word UNBELIEVABLE to describe his experience. I love that compliment!!
Are Mary Padgett and Marty Montague blowing the top off or what? My goodness they are getting the job done with our children! Sunday, I asked my 9 year old son Brad and his friend Logan what they thought of the children's experience and in their exact words they both said, "We loved it!" You have no idea how much that rocked my world.
I have enjoyed our series on anger these past two weeks. This week we are going to start a series that deals with fear and anxiety. If the response is anything like I have received as I have talked about anger, it should be a great series to help people deal with some significant stuff.
Frankly, I am blown away by the relevance of the Bible. I mean, I have grown up being taught the Bible, but each time I begin to study a different topic, it amazes me that I haven't found one yet that the Bible doesn't address. The Bible is not an antiquated, out dated, irrelevant book no matter what anybody says.
I love the way our greeter team has stepped it up lately. I have heard that people make a decision about whether or not they will return to a church they are visiting within the first 5 minutes. Having a greeter team trained and doing their job is so important. I am so thankful for those we have at WCC.
Speaking of being grateful, I am so grateful for Weddington High School. When I think about the fact that they have allowed us to basically take over their school every Sunday for the last 6 years, it blows me away. This Sunday we are planning on taking up a love offering to show our appreciation. I hope you will come prepared to be generous.
Woke up this morning to a phone call from my sister in law. She informed my wife and me that my father in law had been admitted to the hospital with chest pains. I spent the day with him as he had a plethora of tests run. Everything checked out OK. Thank God.
Last but not least, my son Brett, pictured at the top of the page, made the Sun Valley Middle School baseball team. Those of you who know me well, know that that was a huge prayer request of mine. Brett was in need of a self esteem boost. Apparently God decided to give him a double dose of good news. Not only did he make the baseball team, but he also was selected to be on an All Star basketball team in his rec league. Does it seem like I am bragging? I am! I am so proud of my boy!
