You know you have a great church and staff when you are gone for 10 days without communication, not even an email or text, and you come back to discover:
The highest attended Sunday for July was when your Crossfire youth preached and witnessed to what God did all summer long through their hard work.
You as pastor are to baptize and receive a young man into the membership of the church your first Sunday back.
15-20 adults have been vitally involved in life-changing mission work locally.
When a neighboring church is fire-bombed, FUMC Plano members step up in solidarity with them and for them with a free will offering of $2,500 to help them with repairs.
Your lay leaders worked hard to help ensure that all documents for the City of Plano are in order and submitted in a timely fashion. We now wait for a hopeful recommendation by Plano’s Planning and Zoning Committee on September 5.
These developments nearly brought me to tears upon my return. I am so proud of our church family and staff. Even with 105-degree days, I can honestly say, “It is good to be back!”
