StoneBridge Community Church
Guest Pastor Dale Ridenour
When asked about lack of focus and , “… having a dozen things to do and not being able to do them all…” Henry Ford replied, “I go out and trot around the house. While I’m running off the excess energy that's tempted to do too much, my mind clears… and I see what should be done first.” Churches, like people, can be tempted to accomplish too much and along the way lose their primary focus. This weekend in worship, Pastor Dale Ridenour will challenge StoneBridge to consider what our institutional distractions are as well as what our primary focus is.
