Weekend Recap

1.  Preached on generosity and my wife and I went home and started scheming.  [If you weren't there, you'll have to listen to the message when it comes up online to find out what that means]

2.  Had a bunch of people sign up for our upcoming financial peace class.  It’s going to revolutionize how we handle our money.  I’m excited for what it’s going to do for everybody!

 3.  My fantasy football team lost.  It’s a long story, I don’t want to talk about it.

4.  I asked my son what happened with the $2 I threw out [they were his] on Sunday.  He said he put them in the offering after hearing the message.  That was a special moment for me.  [Once again, you had to be there]

5.  Several people were missing yesterday because of the unspoken Missouri holiday of deer hunting season but we still had a ton of first time guests.  We are up over 100% from this time last year.

6.  God is changing my plans for this Sunday’s message.  I can tell it’s a God thing.  It’s going to be good.

Food Drive Report

Nathan and the gang did an awesome job with the food drive. 

 

[here is a picture of Nathan freezing his butt off] 

Here is a recent email that Nathan sent me…

“I delivered all the food to the pantry today. Once all of it was in my truck, it filled up my entire extended cab and my truck bed. From their reaction, I got the impression they don’t see donations of this size very often. It took about 20 minutes and 5 people to unload it all. They were very appreciative. I wanted to try and gauge just how much food we actually collected, but I didn’t have the time or resources to do so. All I know for sure is that it wouldn’t all fit in their pantry and half of it had to be left outside the door. It should definitely help them out for awhile. ”

Way to go Journey Church!  You guys are awesome.  Praise God that we get to bless those in need!
