-Just got back with the family from hiking at Red Top Mountain. We have been careful with our water usage so has most of Cherokee County great job people last month there was a 27% decrease in usage. In our overly indulgent world that is pretty good. One trip to Red Top will convince you to conserve. The water was at least 75+ yards from the banks.
-Today went great at the embassy. We looked at taking on the outlaw of doubt (lack of trust). One of the biggest areas that we struggle when it comes to trust is in our finances. We saw that God asks us to trust Him by bringing to Him our tithe.
I hate preaching about money but today went great. I was so proud how people responded. Frankly giving was up by 60% from our average weekly amount for last month. I know you will begin to see God's faithfulness regarding His promises in Malachi 3. First week of December we'll be telling our stories about what God has done in our lives during the Wild Wild West series. I can't wait to hear your story.
-We have been ready to start on time the past few weeks. Our band and tech team are doing a great job to give us a 10:02 start. Please if you are a regular emc-er I love that you all enjoy each others company but if you would begin creating movement towards the worship theater at 10:00. We want a timely start so that we can have a timely end, but starting with 80% of the people outside of the theater doesn't lend to much energy to the beginning of the service.
I know we created this ourselves because for too long we didn't start on time. We have fixed that so for our guests' sake let's try to get in on time. Guests usually find their seat and are ready for things to begin at 10:02.
-For what it's worth....I love being the pastor of emc. Thanks for everything ya'll have done to make emc such a great community.
