We enjoyed a guest speaker at Church Requel last evening. His name is Todd Pierce, and yes, he is my brother. Todd invested 28 years of his life in the pastoral ministry, most recently founding the Vineyard Mason Community Church.
It was an absolute delight to have my brother and his wife, Amy, with us this weekend in Mansfield. Todd came because my daughter, Jillian, asked him to officiate at her wedding Saturday. I knew this past week before the wedding of my youngest child would be filled with distractions for me. So a few months ago I asked Todd if he would be willing to stay an extra day and preach for me at Church Requel last night. I'm so glad he said, "Yes."
We enjoyed a record number of people at Church Requel last night; 60 folks showed up - the most since we moved into the Ontario Christian Fellowship chapel space in June. As I listened to the audio this morning I was reminded of just how much everyone enjoyed Todd's message. We must have him come back again... and soon! Thanks, Todd, for providing this pastor and father of the bride a small amount of relief!
What is the one thing we must do to finish well in our Christian faith? Join special guest speaker Todd Pierce as he teaches Philippians 3:12-4:1. May his talk inspire you also to "Finish Well."
