Chuck Warnock has a great post on Communion over at his blog today on the topic of communion.  His question is How Often is Too Often?  I replied in the comments to that post.  It does bring up an interesting subject of communion as worship.  I know in our last church, I was thanked by [...]

Mosaic Recap

Oh, what a night!  Without exageration, we had the best night of Mosaic Student Ministries that we have had.  It was that good.  Why?  From the very beginning several students came with the expectation that we would sing and worship.  This is something new and hasn’t always happened.  It’s not like we have alot of [...]

Worship Wednesdays

If you’ve been around me any length of time, you will know that I enjoy diverse styles of music.  When it comes to worship music that is true as well.  I have a deep appreciation for the timeless hymns of the church, the 19th Century Revival/Gospel Songs, and contemporary worship songs.  Over the past several [...]

Wesleyan Church History

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged on January 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

I did not grow up in the Wesleyan church; I married in to it. So I never knew the history of the Wesleyan Church. While Dale was working on his ordination, he had to take a class on the history of the Wesleyan Church, so he started to get an appreciation for the heritage of [...]

Today I had to be up especially early because our district was sponsoring a Day of Learning for its pastors.  First, let me applaude Pastor Greg Reynolds for doing this.  I love the fact that we as pastors are going to get together several times a year.  Yes, the continuing ed is great, but so [...]

Here is the lead article from our bi-monthly newsletter: Several days ago, Pam and I were on our way home from doing some church business. As we pulled into the driveway, I noticed something that I have rarely seen here in the South. No, I’m not talking about snow and yes, we haven’t seen much [...]

What can I say except that today was one of those extremely solid days of ministry.  There was high personal satisfaction factor — I feel like good things happened today, and that always makes a pastor feel good.  I sat under Pam’s teaching once again during her substitute stint in the “Young Adult” class.  She [...]
