Yes, I am switching gears a little bit. My Weekend Ramblings have been on a sabbatical the last few weeks. Also, yes, I have taken a Facebook sabbatical. Why? The social media diversion became a social media distraction to me. Two words (and they are unrelated...sometimes:-) - negativity and politics.
I'll be posting my Weekend Ramblings at barrympeters.com from now on. Enjoy!
1. We have a generous church! Thank you to everyone who gives in the way you do – time, talents & treasures.
2. We had a great launch of Operation Christmas Child boxes yesterday. Let’s go bigtime y’all!
3. My good friend Mark Phillips did a great job speaking yesterday! Thankful for his passion behind speaking on finances through God’s word. I had quite a few wonderful comments from our church family.
4. The Dollars & $ense series has been very well received. I appreciate the feedback that we haven’t been “all about the money.”
5. We are stewards of God’s money – He owns it all.
6. You won’t want to miss this upcoming Sunday. It’ll be unlike any other.
7. I’ll be sharing a new generosity initiative that will allow our people to be a part of on a monthly basis. A few bucks will go a long way.
8. Bring a few dollars this Sunday. I can’t wait for you to see what it’ll do. It’s gonna be good!
9. I really enjoyed sitting back and being preached to Sunday! Rest is a great thing.
10. A big announcement yesterday! We let everyone know that we have a student pastor candidate. AWESOME!!! We can’t wait.
