This Morning I was watching television and flipping through the channels. I had one of the channels catch my eye, it was a preacher and I listened to his message and it really struck me. He was talking about seeking first the Kingdom of God (Matthew 6:33). Many times we are seeking answers to circumstances instead of seeking God’s Kingdom. I went into my office and began to read Luke 8:11-15 among many other verses. It really challenged me and my mind set. Life can be crowded and busy, to put Christ first is very heard because it takes patients and time. All I need is Christ, nothing else truely matters in life in comparison to Him. Lord forgive me of worring about, and being so consumed with life I forget how You are everything I am looking for. Today, take a moment and spend some time with Christ. –Pastor Shawn–

Shawn & I tagged along with Heath and Misti to Waynesboro, VA home of our favorite guest minister Randall Black. Heath did a mini-conference at Randall’s church – “The Big is in the Little”. It was an awesome, refreshing time with two great friends.

This Easter weekend was incredible starting with our fantastic Good Friday service in Winamac. Can you believe over 230 people attending?!? That’s over 1/3 of all Church of the Heartland campuses together plus others watching via webcast. Congratulations once again to Pastor Herb and Pastor Heath in their new roles over Church of the Heartland.
The excitement carried over to our Sunday morning Easter celebration. Every campus had new visitors and our Logansport & Plymouth campuses had record-breaking attendances! Here at Starke County we saw plenty of new faces and an awesome crowd ourselves. Our worship team did a fantastic job! Our greeters made everyone feel welcome. The kids ministries shared their talent with two special songs to conclude the service then off to the Easter egg hunt outdoors.
I just want to brag on our church this morning! We have an incredible and talented group of people here in Starke County. Thanks to everyone who made this Easter a success! Let’s keep up this momentum and reach some more people!
