- Robert Pooley and I went to see Valkyrie Thursday afternoon. Well done, but what a bummer! The movie actually followed the true story and the plot failed, they all got executed. Definitely not uplifting...! :)
- Spent the whole day Saturday preparing for Sunday morning, taking the new pup out to play and potty and day long. I feel like we have a new baby all over again!
- Harvest @ The Rave was kickin! The momentum was back from the holidays.....large crowd....a wonderful sense that God was present and pleased.
- Will introduced a new song called "You'll Come" that I could not get out of my head all day....."Chains be broken.....Lives be healed....Eyes be opened....Christ is revealed." Thanks Rachel T for singing that one!
- Russell T's video testimony was AMAZING!! I will tell the story he didnt tell yesterday tommorow. Very, very cool indeed....
- I felt the Holy Spirit pressing down in conviction in the last 10 minutes of the morning service. The word 'glory' is literally translated 'weight'. You could feel that weight in a wonderful way. Not condemning, but freeing IF you respond!
- Harvest @ 5 has been having tremendous response in the prayer time we have opened during the worship! Great crowd last night. Pastor Roger NAILED IT with his message on "Ruthless Trust"!
- Words fail to describe how wonderful it was to ordain Rich Beal as Pastor of Family Ministries. Rich has worked overseeing our Children's Ministries for the last 7 years. He has a proven gift to manage. Rich will bring oversight to all ministry directors from birth to College age, bringing his gift of management to these vital ministries. Words that describe Rich are: Faithful, diligent, proficient, creative, funny, solid, .....easy. Rich is always happy, even-keeled and a real treasure of a man of God. We welcome you Rich to our Pastoral Staff and are excited about this next season~!
Enjoy your Monday!
PB
Way to go Rich. You have been a good and faithful servant and I wish you Blessings and Grace.

We're so proud of our friend, Pastor Rich! He really is an awesome leader to us and we're honored to serve with him each week. Just prepare yourself for the onslaught of LOTR and Star Wars references in his messages...
