Pastor James’ Blog

IT’S TRUE — you did see “PASTOR JAMES” coming out of the Silver Dollar Club on East Street tonight. HEY – even better than that – you saw me coming out of there TWICE!  Yes – you can quote me on that!  Tonight at the beginning of the Fall Festival I wished that we had enough hot dogs for me to be able to carry a tray of them to the little club down the street and give to them as a way of connecting with the patrons there.  No preaching, no high pressure. Just a gift to let them know that we care.  Sure enough the ladies in the snack shack assured me that we had PLENTY of hot dogs and they fixed a tray of them up for me to carry down there!!  Well – the first time I went in with a tray load of hot dogs they were stunned.  It was a blessing to see their faces when I told them I was from the new church down the street and that we were having a fall festival and just wanted to share some hot dogs with them to bless them. One lady tried to pay me for them and I told her I couldn’t let her pay me for them or it would rob us of the blessing. They all thanked us and were nice. At the end of the fall festival we took another tray load of hot dogs to them and they were just as nice and very appreciative of the gift. NOT ONE BAD ATTITUDE, NOT ONE BAD WORD.  They were a little stunned but we had the chance to talk and even invite some of them to come join us one Sunday.  I know – “you shouldn’t go in there” – but if I remember correctly – isn’t that the type place Jesus went? Hmmm…if you are going to gossip PLEASE GET IT RIGHT –  YOU DID SEE “Pastor James” coming out of the Silver Dollar – with a smile on his face and a prayer on his heart.  Pray for and love people – Jesus did!
