Pastor Sam’s Blog – 04.01.2008

Good Morning Church!

I am pleased to greet you today with good news. In response by you to our church budget this last week of our fiscal year, we have ended strong with nearly $100,000 in general budget giving, and completed the year by contributing $2,950,000. This figure successfully matches expenses of the same - leaving our cash position strong. So that in spite of news of a slowing economy, and as a testimony of your faithfulness as well as sound management by our leadership and staff, we turn, now, to our new fiscal year excited to see what God has in store.

This past Sunday also brought many of you back to your ParkwayHills small group and/or SMBS Class. Easter was fun, and the large crowd was exciting. But, after the resurrection comes the ‘upper room.’ Amen? And we must be faithful to take full advantage of the power that God gifts each of us with (the Holy Spirit), to move out from here and on with a dynamic, everyday-day life in Him.

Finally, I am pleased to hear many of you share that you are enjoying my new message series on heaven. In this, let me encourage you to invite your un-churched friends to join you each week, and also, to take advantage of my message outlines for this series, which will be posted on our church Website from the ‘on-line’ link.

Hope to see you Sunday –

Pastor Sam
