Pastor Josh & Easter 2017

These are very exciting days for ParkwayHills, as on Sunday, March 26 we voted to call our next Senior Pastor, Dr. Josh Allen of League City, Texas.  He and his wife, Jessie - along with children, Josie, Joy and Joel - are already precious to us, and will be a such a blessing for our church. Belinda and I could not be more thrilled as we love them already, and look forward to their being with us permanently this June.

Now as I've often said, ParkwayHills is our life's work - and Belinda and I look forward to remaining in this community and serving with you as pastor emeritus and fellow members set for reaching others and building of God's Kingdom. Of course, we will step away this summer and early fall - both for some much needed rest and to give Josh and Jessie ample opportunity to become established as our new leaders. This said, until then I will be here each Sunday through June 11 - and preaching on Sundays April 9, 16, 30, May 14, and June 4.  On April 23 Wesley Morris with Revive Texas will be our guest preacher.  And on Sunday's May 7 and 21 - though I will be here - various teams from our church have planned special days for us and to give thanks to God for His rich blessings over these last 28 years.

So... my word for you today is remain faithful and make ready for even greater work. We finished our fiscal year strong, but, with April a new one has begun.  And, because we live in a world so in need of the comfort and constancy that comes from a church committed to the gospel and to loving those who surround them, our work is far from over.  ParkwayHills has done this so well, and we should expect nothing less in the days to come. We believe God calls each member to His church for a purpose that goes beyond self and unto mission. And, because He is the one who chose to plant this particular church facility on this busiest of corridors stretching north and south through the heart of West Plano, Frisco, Carrollton, Addison and Dallas, His calling includes a commission, one reminding us we have much yet to do. Amen?

So don't miss the coming days at ParkwayHills.  Pray for Pastor Josh and his family as they transition into this community. Remain faithful - both with your finances and presence - and reengage in our mission, one to reach others who do not yet know the love of Christ and/or are in need of a church community where they may grow in their faith and service to Him. As you've heard me say through the years - this call is not rocket science, it is a clear call directly from our LORD, and it still works - one person at at time.

He is Risen, indeed!
