Thank You!
I find my prayer time being consumed with prayers of gratitude. More than praising, or
confessing or asking I have noticed my days are saturated with gratitude for all of the people
God has brought into my life. The list is endless. Daily, different names come to mind of people who have shaped and influenced my life, personally and professionally. It is as if I am obsessed. The smiles and tears come quickly when a litany of names from my past and the last 60 minutes begin to scroll through my head like movie credits. And when your names come to mind, the words of the Apostle Paul resonate in my soul;
“I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the Gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the days of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 1:3-6
You are an amazing group of people. Easter 2025 will long be remembered as a record breaking and breakthrough season for Pathway Church. Your commitment to weekly attendance, giving, inviting and sacrificial service was used by God to bless over 3500 people on Easter Weekend and inspire 36 Spirit led baptisms. I was deeply moved by the 726 of you who worshipped on Saturday Night to make room for and serve the “One Mores” on Sunday Morning.
And in case you haven’t heard, these are the projected numbers for our upcoming Celebration Weekend. It would be awesome if many of you would again worship on Saturday Night to make room for all of the guests who will show up this weekend.

Unbelievable! Miraculous! God continues to kiss us with his favor and grace! God is performing miracles through your obedient faithfulness. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I thank my God every time I remember you and that is more frequent than most of you will ever understand.
On behalf of all the One Mores, thank you.
On behalf of all the children and students, thank you.
On behalf of those stuck in loneliness, anger, grief and sadness, thank you.
On behalf of the ones who drifted away but have come back home, thank you.
On behalf of our local communities who use our campus as if were their own, thank you.
On behalf of your church staff who tirelessly pray for you, thank you.
