Here are some of the highlights from this weekend at PCC:*It was my first time back in the pulpit after two weeks off. It felt great to preach again, but the rest really did me well.
*I preached a looooooooong sermon. I went 55 minutes Saturday night and 40-45 minutes in the Sunday services. God bless the PCC attenders who listen for that length of time without walking out on me.
*We baptized lots more people this weekend. It was one of the coolest baptisms ever. Pastor Brad and Pastor Andre did all the baptisms. Great job guys! Andre actually lost his footing and he and one of the guys both went under. Priceless baptism moment!
*So far, the PCC family has given over $25,000 in the
special Christmas
offering. What an amazing act of generosity. We are well on the way to reaching the $150,000 goal.
*The Christmas Offering will be used 3 ways: $25,000 to feed the poor, $50,000 for children's ministry expansion and decor upgrades, and $75,000 for media enhancement to launch an online church and additional PCC campuses in the Pocono area.
*I'm really excited about the new Christmas series starting next weekend, "He Shall Be Called." Don't come alone!
* The PCC Christmas Choir will be singing your favorite Christmas songs next week. You don't want to miss it.
*The church family decorated the building for Christmas today. It took them all day just to get the 27 foot Christmas tree up in the lobby. It looks awesome! Thanks to the 80 plus volunteers who showed up to serve!
*The worship team wrote and performed a special song for the series. It was awesome. So thankful for the great team of volunteers we have at PCC that are willing to use their gifts to glorify God.
*We God thanks today for: the healing of a man who had bleeding and swelling behind his eyes (totally healed), a restoration of a couple who have been separated for 12 years, and a teenager who recently wanted to commit suicide has now found faith in Christ and reason for living.
