Here are some of the highlights from the weekend at Pocono Community Church:*PCC provided almost 150 families with Thanksgiving Baskets and hand delivered them to homes in need. What a demonstration of generosity and kindness. So proud of our staff and the hundreds of volunteers who donated their time and resources for this outreach.
*This past weekend was "Commitment Weekend" at PCC. Hundreds of people gave sacrificially and made three year commitments to our new outreach and develop initiative, Unstoppable.
*Early reports of the Unstoppable Commitments are nothing short of miraculous.
*Our Unstoppable goal was 2 Million to be given over 3 years. Before this weekend, 1.2 million was already given in advanced commitments. God is up to something BIG.
*Eph 3.20 - God is able to do exceeding and abundantly more than we dare ask or think.
*I can't wait to announce the miracle of generosity on Victory Weekend on the December 10/11!
*My wife, Bekah and I were incredibly humbled as we watched so many faithful people in all 5 worship experiences come forward and give their gifts at the altar. I'll never forget that display of generosity...ever.
*God says, "If you can't give willingly, then don't give at all." This weekend was about a "coalition of the willing" not a "coercion of the unwilling."
*God doesn't expect us to all give the same amount. But He does expect us to give with the same attitude.
*Jesus said, "Where your treasure is, there your heart will also be." In other words, what's in your heart is more important than what's in your wallet.
*So cool to meet 4 new East Stroudsburg University students in our worship experiences this weekend. They are totally psyched about PCC coming to ESU and want to join the launch team. This is gonna be good.
*Looking forward to next week when we will celebrate Thanksgiving together as a church family with extended time of worship and communion.
