When life takes a turn, pay attention to who shows up just to hang out. Grateful this man George Davidiuk flew in just to be together for a day. No agenda. Just food & coffee.I am an uncle for the 30th time. Congratulations Alex & @marykhochay ; Willow is beautiful.Excited to be with friends tonight for a soft launch of CityHill SpokaneToday, Honor’s teacher informed us that Honor was very disturbed about working on a Halloween project at school, and refused to participate in it. Though Honor’s favorite subject is art, she was not willing to work on this art project, and Honor’s teacher was proud & supportive that she was willing to let her thoughts be known. I know families have different views on Halloween. We aren’t against pumpkins (especially pumpkin muffins), corn mazes, and celebrating the coming of fall; but things associated with hunted houses, witches, and ghosts are things we don’t espouse (unless it’s the Holy Ghost).CityHill Youth Conference coming up this weekend! If you are anywhere close, join!This past week, we took our middle school students on Destination Unknown to a cemetery. Students had to notate ages of death of 10 individuals, and anything else interesting they would notice. What they found: - people died of all ages (infant to 104) - many family members were buried together - some have some very weird signs on their stones - a couple didn’t have a year of birth (unknown) - many had similar last names - there’s a 100% death rate of everyone born in the 1800s (in other words, we will all die). We learned some valuable lesson to cherish loved ones, live with purpose, and be ready to meet our creator any day.We are excited to have George Davidiuk at CityHill Northshore this Sunday. Its hard to put into words the impact he's had on thousands of people in the US, Ukraine & around the world. Join us 9:30 am in Kenmore. He's also a keynote speaker at MissionsFest Seattle 2019 this weekend. A great event to check out. Im also excited that we will be baptizing several individuals this Sunday who have come a long way. But GOD...!I would like to take a min, and honor a man & his wife who has faithfully served at Slavic Gospel Church as senior pastor for 30 years. Pastor Sergey & Alla have been a blessings to hundreds of families in the NW. While still a youth, he was imprisoned in the Soviet Union for his faith (I believe for a period of 6 years). Then, he was fortunate to immigrate to the US, and, while still in his late 20’s, was the founding pastor of SGC. He was my pastor growing up. When I was 18 years old, I became the youth leader at SGC, and served under him for 5 years and got to see him up close. He officiated the wedding for my wife and I, as well as probably 400 other couples. And if there was anything clear, it was that he feared God, loves his wife, loved his family, and served faithfully. Very few husbands speak so kindly of their spouses, and growing up, how he loved his wife served as a model for many. Statistics say only 8% of pastors stay more than 20 years in ministry. He served as a pastor of one church for 30 years. Let’s give honor to whom honor is due. Today I am not part of SGC, and just like in every church, seasons change, leadership changes, and in every healthy organization, change happens. Jesus builds His church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. My knowledge is very limited, and it’s not my role to comment on what’s happening at SGC. Certainly, there is no person alive in whom we can find perfection. But, I believe it is very appropriate to pause and thank this man of God for his faithfulness, and service to Christ’s church. Pastor Sergey, your ministry and life have impacted the NW significantly. And I’m one of the lives impacted by your faithfulness and ministry. Thank you.
