Yes, it is that time of the year. I know it doesn’t seem like it, and there is nothing in the stores yet, but Christmas has started for me at church.  we have actually been planning it for the last month and 1/2.  Andy has been working on it longer, and I think he may have Easter done already.

Anyway, this is my busy season, so I will be out of pocket a lot, working on all the different things I need to do that will help this Christmas Celebration be the best that it can. Everyone should come see this one this year.  It should be really awesome.

Derrick Rainey of Trinity Church in Canton preached this evening.

As many of you know my church (Colonial Heights) is without a pastor. For the next few Sundays we will have guest speakers. Today we have Bob Caldwell. Bob is the Pastor of Outreach at the First Baptist Church of Arnold.

Bob is continuing a series on evangelism that began on Pastor Mark’s last Sunday. The series is called “driven”. The series driven compares the sharing of your faith to a Nascar Race. The topic Bob is covering today is the “Pit Crew”.

In this series the pit Crew is your support mechanism. In Nascar each driver is determined to win the race, but they are not the only ones involved in the race. When the driver is tired, needs work on the car, needs gas or a tire change he turns to his pit crew to keep him going and lift his spirits. Read the rest of this entry »
