Today, our youth group together with the youth group from Tar Wallet Baptist Church hosted a car wash fundraiser for Passways Camp. It was a beautiful day for a car wash! The group washed a lot of cars and raised about $600! And as you can tell from the pictures, a good time was had by all. Click on “more” to see more pictures. (more…)

So here goes. I’m experimenting with being a “blogging pastor.” (Well, I actually started being a blogging pastor several months ago at mikesmusings.wordspress.com). Why? Well, first it’s because I’m a geek. I’m not a “bleeding edge” techno geek, but, being a former electrical engineering major in college, there’s still a part of me that likes learning new things technological like html, css, website design, Photoshop, etc. Second, and more importantly, it’s because I’m finally becoming convinced that blogs might be a good way to “tear down the veil” separating “clergy” and “laity.” So many times, pastors are placed upon a pedestal and the people in the pews never really see the real person behind the pastoral persona. Also, many times, we don’t see the heart and soul of a church. A blog might serve as a “window” into the heart of a church. That all sounds good – but who knows what will actually happen? Hence this experiment.
I hope this isn’t just a passing fancy, a jump on the blog bandwagon. I’ve resisted a long time starting a blog. I’m way too busy to spend hours in front of a computer. So we’ll see how this goes.
