The Rural Church

These are the day-to-day thoughts from Pastor Jeff Lawson. I pastor a Christian and Missionary Alliance Church in Battle Lake, MN. This blog will hopefully help everyone who desires to pastor a church in a rural setting...

Worship in the Park

Yesterday was the first day back in the pulpit for me following a one month break. I have not missed many Sundays in the past two years and wanted to have my mind free to focus on this next series as we will cover the Fruit of the Spirit. To be honest, I have not studied the subject very deeply prior to this and wanted to give it everything I have.

Our service yesterday was in the park. I set the stage for where we were heading. Following the service we had a potluck picnic and then I crawled into the dunk tank. Everyone loves to see their pastor get dunked. The water was very, very cold. It was loads of fun though. Curt crawled in after me. He is a great kid and loves to have fun as well.

Today is his fist day of vacation. Believe me, it is well-deserved. He held down the fort here this past month very admirably!
