We’re going public! That’s right, our first “public display of actionchurch” will take place June 15th-16th as we participate in the York Relay for Life. This is a great opportunity to not only help our community by raising money for the American Cancer Society, but also a great way to connect with people. This is a 24 hour event. 24 hours to show that we mean business in caring for others. 24 hours to connect with people we do not know. 24 hours to “be” the good news!
I know you may be thinking that “this seems too ‘big’ to do right now”! I agree. “Too Soon”! I agree. I especially agreed when I accepted this opportunity to lead a relay team late
last year! At that time our “launch team” consisted of my wife, myself, our three year old daughter, and three cats. Here’s the deal. God wants
actionchurch to be a church that does things for
others that are too big, too extravagant, too much! Whether we are 10 or 10,000 there is never going to be an
convenient time to do good. If we want to be the church that:
“cares more about doing good in the community, than looking good to the community.” We must start being “
that kind of church” now!
Thanks to those of you who have agreed to walk and donate to “team actionchurch”. We need more walkers and more financial sponsors. If this sounds like an adventure you would like to be part of…contact me at

Michele and I were sorry to see Chris Sligh leave American Idol last night. (Note to guys, always blame girly-show-watching on your wife or girlfriend.) We were rooting for Chris because he was funny, very talented, had hair like
Sideshow Bob, and was a worship leader at
Seacoast Church. Although he didn’t make the final ,I think Chris did a great job of showing that a follower of Jesus can be witty, fun, and very sharp. Way to Go!
“Musical nerd” note: I wonder if Chris had trouble with tempo in his songs because he normally plays guitar while he sings. A lot of “worship leader types” actually cue the band and keep their tempo on their guitar. Just a thought.

Don’t be fooled by their cuteness or snappy uniforms, this is a very sinister organization. Here’s the “Facts”.
1. Their little “agents” have obviously had our home under surveillance so that their “cookie pushers” could strike when either my wife Michele or I are home. (Never both.) This tactic has allowed them to double their sales to approximately 90 boxes of cookies this year!
2. Their “collectors” only accept cash or check, no cards. Sound suspicious? I think so! Since I haven’t had a checkbook in 10 years, (I suck at writing down amounts) and don’t carry a lot of cash, I have to resort to rummaging our house for cash like a cookie junkie desperate for a fix.
3. Their crispity, crunchety, cookies are far too addictive to be “legal”. Especially the thin mints.
I’m glad “cookie season” is almost over or I would need a mortgage lender and an intervention by Richard Simmons.
