Weekend Review 4/28

• The trip down to Lakeland was EXPENSIVE!!! $340 spent on gas up and back.....TIS GAR PLEN!!!  Went to the Theater Church exhibition held at the Millenial Cinemas and all I can say is that Harvest is doing a FANTASTIC job at doing church in a theater!!
• Tried to get into the revival at Ignite Church in Lakeland and no go.......too full to get in.  The guy sounded exactly like Steve Hill over the speakers outside.  People definitely seemed excited!
• Packed up Michael's stuff Thursday morning and drove over to Tampa to have lunch with Roger's parents. They are GREAT folk, very kind.  Rog's dad was waiting in the drive way with his camera to see his son drive up, as Roger had not been home in about 4 years since moving back to the States.  Did I say SWEET people???!?!  Great lunch as well......!
• Had a neat time at Sonny's barbeque in Tallahassee.  I talked about it Sunday night in my message on "Joy:  It's All In Your Mind".  Listen to the podcast here:  www.harvestpensacola.com
• Sunday morning service at the RAVE was great.  Good crowd, the message Craig shared on Peace in Your Relationships was a home run!  Again, you can hear it here:  www.harvestpensacola.com
• Pastor Craig and his family will be moving to Norfolk, VA, June 1st.  I will be talking and posting more about the tremendous changes coming over the next few months, but let me say on a personal level, that it is hard to imagine not having Craig and Lezlie Walker, our dear friends and co-laborers, here with us.  We all know this is a God thing for them to move up to Norfolk to take the helm at Living Word Church, but for all of us, it is for sure taking up the Cross and just being obedient.  More to come, but enough for now....:(  Please keep this in prayer, as the church up there is facing big changes as we seek to work together to preach the same series, do video, etc... For Harvest, this is easy, as we are an extremely flexible church, doing whatever it takes to reach people, ie, adopting new technologies, etc...  Again, thanks for the prayer this way!

To grace.....

I thought your message on Sunday night was especially good. And I had to tell you...we ended up going to eat at Sonny's after church! :-)

This is sad news for us as well. Tash and I have felt Gods tug on our lives. (all the way back to Canada. We have been well updated by friends and your blog PB. We have enjoyed the Incredibles series back in Winnipeg. Podcasts are a beautiful thing. God bless the Walker family you will be missed...

This will be a loss for Harvest. Spent 4 good years in Norfolk. It is a Blessed City & area. Pastor Craig & Family will be a Blessing to Norfolk & it Many Churches. Will be in prayer for them.

Wow! That is big news for Craig and his family to Va. I will certainly be in prayer for them and for you of course.
