Yesterday I announced via video in both worship services that FBC has been asked to sponsor First Calvary Baptist Church for membership in the York Baptist Association. We did the same thing back in the 1990s for New Covenant Missionary Baptist Church, which became the first predominately African-American church to join our local association. Over… Read More »
Where’s the Dollar Menu
This is a brief story about a recent experience I had at a McDonald’s that has important lessons for us at church. At the end of it, let me know what you think. Monieca and I drove to KY earlier this week to help her mom move into a nursing home. To save time we… Read More »
Jamaica (Friday)
The work in Jamaica has been physically exhausting but fulfilling in every other way. All of Catadupa is mountainous, so when someone wants to build a water reservoir at the spring on the top of the mountain they have to find a way to get supplies to the top. This week we learned the way… Read More »
Summer Splash – Jamaica (Wednesday)

It Touched Her Heart
You never know what God is going to use to make an impression on someone. I was reminded of that today during lunch. Monieca and I enjoyed eating lunch with a woman who only recently started attending FBC. She has been in Rock Hill for a few years and regularly attended a couple of different… Read More »
Monieca’s Flowers
I began last Sunday’s sermon talking about some flowers I had given to Monieca. It wasn’t a special occasion, I just wanted to say “I love you” and “I’m thinking about you.” So while buying groceries at BiLo I picked up some flowers. The point I was making in the sermon was that during the… Read More »
