We're continuing on our deputation tour of the Pittsburgh District. Every church, every pastor every congregation is unique. Take, for instance, Pastor Gary Smith of Beaver Falls, a single dad who has raised 4 daughters. I met two of them, both really nice girls; I'm betting the other two are, too.
Or consider the Pine Run church in Freedom, PA. I'll remember the folks there for the laughter we shared before and after the service. Thanks, Pastor Burl Ward and all your folks there!
Or the New Brighton church. The unique feature there is the 77 year-old pastor who has the energy level of most 50 year-olds. Someone needs to sit down and explain the concept of retirement to Pastor Don and Ruth Ann MacNiel!
And then this evening we were at the Chartier's Creek church, which meets in the home of Pastor Skip and Jealean Irwin. This is a church that is finding a unique approach to reaching it's community, and it was fun to be with them.COMMENTS
It must be so fun to connect with our Naz brothers and sisters around the country and the globe! Thanks for sharing about these special people!
