Good service today. Super proud of everyone who makes our services so uplifting.
Yes, it was Labor Day weekend – a weekend that we typically experience a drop in attendance – but our attendance was up and so was giving. Very strong and very solid on both counts.
We concluded the Elijah series this morning - it’s been ten weeks and a very fruitful journey – covering a lot of material and a variety of topics.
Today’s message – The Next Generation – was a perfect way to conclude the series.
This was one of the most important messages I have ever taught at PCC. And if you have the ability to read between the lines, you can draw obvious conclusions from it. Today’s message was not just a sermon; it was about our future.
Where else does a pastor have the undivided attention of everyone all at once, other than the Sunday morning service? Nowhere. I use the pulpit deliberately and on-purpose.
I talked about age-segregation verses age-integration in church. It’s very important that the generations mingle – closing the generation gap.
If every person at PCC would assume the responsibility of taking just one person under their wing of influence (as a mentor or discipler) and training them towards godliness, more would be accomplished in one year’s time than all our programs combined.
Everyone seemed to be in such a good mood. After service there was a lot positive feedback. People talked about the message series, today’s service, and the impact that PCC has had on their life. What a great day. It makes my job worthwhile.
I can tell you for certain, there are a lot of happy people at PCC.

I read this comment on a twitter account I follow: “Only in a Sunday School class will you find that one person who is ‘smarter’ than the teacher, but refuses to teach.”
I’ll have to remember that one :-)
