Better Together – Pastor Don Proctor

Welcome to CROLCC, we are so glad you are here worshiping with us. We just finished our series on Ask It. My hope is that even though we finished the series you would finish asking the question – What’s the wise thing for me to do? My hope is that you will ask this question for the rest of your life and that it will lead to wise decisions you will not regret.

Today we have a very special speaker with us, pastor Don Proctor. You may not know him but you sure know his father in law pastor Russell. A few years ago pastor Don started gathering pastors in the Sacramento region to pray and to work together. At first it was just a handful of pastors, but God had bigger plans. Remember small things, big difference? When we do the small things over time, God can multiply it to bigger things.

Now a days there are hundreds of pastors working together to bring unity and racial reconciliation to the region of Sacramento and beyond. It really all began with a heart of a pastor. I have asked him to share with us the vision that he has for Sacramento and how our church can partner with him and other churches. Because after all, we are better together. Would you please give him a very warm welcome.

Moving Forward

One day in heaven all nations will gather together to worship God. But you don’t have to wait till you get to heaven, you can start making friends and worshiping God with all nations today.

Changing Your Mind

I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one – as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.
John 17:21
