Pessimists always see difficulties in opportunities and optimists always see opportunity in difficulty.

I resonate with the optimists and have a hard time with those who look at things with a negative premonition. It bugs me when people give up too quickly when there are obstacles in the mission of opportunity. Sometimes people give up too quickly. Sometimes I feel it keeps people back from believing that God can do the impossible. I love to dream and believe for big things to happen. I am a dreamer for people, missions, churches and cities. It is all about seeing with eyes of faith and believing the ultimate best for God’s purpose. Let nothing hinder the God-given dream of believing the best. Let nothing hinder the idea of perseverance in an opportunity. When one way does not work try, try again, do it another way. Don’t give up too soon or only look at one or two solutions. Passionately attempt as many times as it takes to accomplish what the pessimist’s dreams say is impossible. Never, never give up – learn, grow, study and keep believing that God will give you the answer. Let’s dream and see opportunity in every difficulty. Dream Big!

Exciting Easter Service @ PF church

Today was a great day! I loved all of it. The worship was a sweet time to celebrate our incredible Jesus. The creative elements of Video and drama were powerful to champion the theme of hope.
It was a blast being together with the so many that came together. We had 1,050 attend this past weekend - 30 salvations - tons of new guests. I am so thankful for a wonderful congregation who got involved in SERVOLUTION and invited many people to the Easter Service. God is doing great things - thanks church for allowing Him to do it through YOU...

WHO ARE YOU INVITING TO CHURCH THIS WEEKEND?

I love the week before Easter. Our staff is working tirelessly, our volunteers are slotted and ready to serve this weekend, and it is always such a great reminder every year of what Jesus Christ did for us on the cross. Not only do we want to take time to reflect personally as to what Easter means to each of us that call ourselves Christ-followers, but we also use this as a time to introduce people to this amazing truth and help them come into a relationship with God. Over the past several days we have invited many people through Servolution and personal invites. I can’t wait to see if they show up this weekend…what God could do in their life if they simply let Him in!

Who are you inviting to church this weekend?

WHAT IS SERVOLUTION?

Imagine a community lifted by "Love in Action." Imagine serving and glorifying God by serving people in our community - blotting out blight one block at a time, sharing time with a lonely senior, collecting canned food for the hungry, helping with handyman chores. This was the inspiration for Servolution! On the day of “Servolution” an army of volunteers will go out into the community, serving real people one on one; inspiring, leading, loving; doing God’s will one person, one home, one block at time.
“You are the light of the world- like a city on a mountain, glowing in the night for all to see. Don't hide your light under a basket! Instead, put it on a stand and let it shine for all. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your Heavenly Father.” Matthew 5:14-16
SIGN UP THIS WEEK! 20 Outreaches in 3 Neighborhoods in Sheyboygan

SERVOLUTION IS COMING SOON! APRIL 3-9TH


I am pumped - can't wait for April 3-9th...Servolution: starting a revolution of serving in our community. Target areas are Kings Park neighborhood, Fountain Park neighborhood and Sheridan Park neighborhood. Outreaches will be in these neighborhoods with a dream of 15-20 outreach teams serving those communities. On April 11th we will have Easter egg hunts for children in each of the parks. While we are doing kindness outreaches in the neighborhoods we will spread the word about the upcoming Easter egg hunt. We need help - people who will lead the teams - can you help? We also need people who will serve on the teams...God is up to something Big!

SERVOLUTION IS COMING SOON! APRIL 3-9TH

What is Servolution? It is 7 days right before Easter when PF church is mobilizing to reach out to the Sheboygan area. There is no better time than now to reach out to our community. The state of economics in our world has created tons of need and an opportunity for the church to step up to show that we care. We are believing for 20 outreach teams that will be sent out from PF. Pray for God to speak to people and raise up laborers because the harvest is plenty and the workers are too few.

We need your help! People who will be on the teams and people who will step up to lead the teams. Don’t miss this super opportunity!
