SUNDAY NIGHT DEBRIEF @ PF CHURCH

What a day! I sat on the front row each of our 4 services this past weekend and watched Pastor Silas preach a barn burner. Wow! What a day - it was powerful and lives were impacted. Title was: Christian Atheist; Believe in God but don't believe in prayer. People were moved to pray and many committed their lives to Christ. One new couple who attended one of our services said this is exactly what she needed. Let me share that I was a proud Dad sitting on the front row.

WEEKEND RECAP @ PF CHURCH

All I could think about was how excited I was as Pastor Brian spoke this past weekend. Our new Children’s pastor of 2 ½ months hit it out of the park this past weekend. There was a buzz in the faith community and many who were talking about getting involved in the “Unite Kids” children’s ministry. I attended the Children’s Ministry party at the museum and there were 167 people; the place was packed with energy, Kids climbing the walls or poles (see below) and we had to do another pizza run to just serve all the people. “Think Orange” was a great success and I am one happy pastor.

BOB LENZ COMING TO PRAISE FELLOWSHIP CHURCH

Our mission is "Faith in the Living God and Hope for a Hurting World." There are opportunities that we can take advantage of to reach people who are lost. The sole purpose of this weekend is to reach lost people. As Christians, we have to pray our guts out, love and serve people with a sincere heart and take advantage of the opportunity to invite people who are far from God. We have four services this weekend, and I am believing them to be packed full with new faces who need Jesus. Church, spread the word: this is a huge opportunity to see a bunch of miracles. Our speaker is...

Author and National Speaker coming to Praise Fellowship Church this weekend!

Bob Lenz speaks to over 350,000 teens and parents across the country each year. He has a down to earth style of humor that gets you laughing at one of his embarrassing moments and getting choked up over one of his true stories all the while you are hit right between the eyes with a powerful thought. This is a golden opportunity to experience a miracle.

You are not going to want to miss this weekend!

Bring a Friend and come early;

God is going to change lives!

Measuring Up for the Upcoming Wedding - December 19th, 2010

Wow - I have prayed for this day & it is going to happen. Luke, Alyssa's Finance' treats her like a princess and I love his sense of humor. There are 5 things I told him when he asked for her hand in marriage: First of all, and most of all, that he was a spiritual leader. Secondly, that there love would be based upon a commitment not a feeling. Thirdly, that he would treat her like a princess. Fourthly, that he would be wise in his finances throughout their lives. Last but not least, that he would have a huge core value to hear from God everyday and whenever they seek direction for their future. I have complete confidence that Luke will do all of these and more. I am thrilled to get a son in-law like Luke and most of all that my daughter will be happy the rest of her life.
The Lord answered my prayer of 25 years!

Never can get enough of these guys...

When we get together we laugh, we share, we play games, we laugh and we sometimes eat too much. Nothing is as great to Joy & I as getting our family together. We look forward to those times, savor the memories and hope for more. The Apple's are a blast to be with and I can't get enough of hanging out together. This was a momentous trip to Purdue University to make sure Trent got moved in OK and to keep Mom from crying too much.
