Church GPS

Folks...

Ok, ok, I can take a joke as well as the next guy. Y'all are hilarious. So thanks, whoever, for the special contribution in the offering bag last Sunday.

LOLLLLLLLL. Yeah I really did a double-take when the deacons came carrying this into my office after church, along with your note. LOLLLLLL.







"Where are we?"
and...
"Which way should we go?"






But these devices aren't cheap, so I'm willing to give it back to whomever is responsible. Just let me know. Maybe leave me another note made of your magazine-cut-out-letters. Nice touch. LOL.

And btw, in answer to your question... "No. I don't think Moses would have been better off with one of these -- He KNEW where he was taking them... they just didn't want to go do what God 'directed them' to do.

Hmmmm. Maybe there's a sermon there somewhere.

Anyway, thanks for the 'Church GPS'.

Warmly,
'Pastor Paul'

P.S. Let me 'direct you' to a great article by that name.

Are we 'missional'?

Whaddaya think, folks?



Are we 'missional'?

Seems like a great topic for Sunday morning.

See all of you then.

Come prepared.

Warmly,
'Pastor Paul'

WWJD... in the 21st Century?

Folks... About last Sunday's sermon...

While most of you readily appreciated the change **LOL** I did get some negative feedback.
  • 3 people disagreed with some aspect of the content.
  • 1 person thought the whole thing was sacrilege.
  • 1 person (Maudie, of course -- sorry to name names, but thankfully she doesn't read blogs) wondered what I did last week with my 20 extra hours of NOT having to prepare a 'real' sermon.
  • 1 elder wanted Chris Malott's phone number, perhaps to interview him as my replacement. LOL.

Btw, as promised, here's the link to his article which I simply read aloud Sunday before sitting down.

YBIC,
Pastor Paul
