All Skate

I am headed to Dallas today for a trustee meeting with Manna Worldwide on Tuesday and Wednesday. Wednesday night our staff is heading to Dallas for the C3 Conference. Michelle and I have gone the last two years and it just plain rocks. Ed Young of the other Fellowship Church is the real deal. Spiritually, it has been the highlight of our year. We are making a big investment in taking a group of 13 people this year, but it will pay huge dividends in their lives and at Fellowship. We are going to learn everything we can and be challenged. It is so easy to get stale in ministry and conferences like these keep you sharp and growing. Pray for our team this week that God will challenge us big-time to keep giving him our best and that our hearts will be inspired with the calling God has given us to reinvent church in the Delaware Valley.

We had Bailey’s birthday party at a skating rink today. It was awesome seeing my kids out there having a great time to some of the same songs I grew up with. I was having flashbacks to Buddy and I skating to the Eagles song “Heartache Tonight”. We thought we were so cool! We still argue over who was the better skater…Buddy lies sometimes. I think he got that from my sister…

I loved church yesterday – nothing new there. I must say that 11:00 service is the high energy mark right now…time for the 9:30 group to step it up! Remember, words are powerful…so encourage and empower someone today with the things you say!
