I read in the paper just last week about an event at the Shippensburg airport called Slugfest. Apparently this is the second-year paragliders have converged in Ship for this event.

This morning on my way to the office I pulled over and took a few photos of the early-flyers and then this afternoon I took Ella with me back to the airport for some more flight-enjoyment! This event will definitely go on my calendar for next year, too!

I’ve been working some late-nights over the last few days on our new church website. I am thankful for help from one of my tech-friendly and knowledgeable church guys, Tom, who has put the same – if not more – hours into making it happen!


The site is built on the Joomla CMS (content management system). I am very proud of what we’ve come up with and where the site is headed in the future days and weeks.

A new book that just released TODAY has a lot of pastors and ministries talking. It’s called “Funded and Free” and was written by Casey Graham and Joseph Sangl. It’s available for purchase on their site here or from Amazon here. I haven’t yet read it, but am looking forward to doing just that!

Church finances seems to be THE ‘hot topic’ in ministry circles today as I’m sure it’s been an area of discussion since the New Testament era, too. I have heard numerous “stewardship” messages in my 30+ years in church and am excited to begin working on a series to deliver here in Shippensburg in the future. I am attempting to surround myself with numerous resources and ideas to begin building that series, too.

I’d love YOUR input (in the comments section) of resources, people, and ideas that you have heard or even used in the past on the area of stewardship and finances in the local church.

One of my favorite online tools for reading the Bible – YouVersion has just released a great promotional video:
