Weekend Rewind
- I love Parkview and being the Pastor is a privilege
- Really enjoyed Get Connected with the new families!
- Had a great time with our church family at the celebration send-off for Steve and Amanda.
- It was a time of sadness and joy and because Steve was there we had a good bit of laughter!
- So excited for them as they embark on the new chapter!
- Really neat to see the hand of God in regards to Steve’s good friend Kelly becoming Steve’s replacement and the passing of the torch taking place on that last weekend of Steve’s ministry. Only God could have orchestrated that!
- This weekend I shared publicly for the first time in a worship service that we are having conversations with First Baptist of the Hammock about the possibility of them merging with us.
- I went over and preached at the Hammock for their Sunday morning service.
- Click here to read my sermon notes.
- If you missed the video update I did last week click here to view.
- I thank Pastor JD for the invitation to preach.

- I admire their kingdom-mindedness and desire to partner for the greater good.
- PLEASE PRAY that the Lord will reveal His plan.
- Our leaders and their faithful people (about 20) will meet with a consultant and attorney this Wednesday night.
