What a great weekend it was at Southbrook Church! The crowds were back after last week’s great ‘blizzard of 08’! And we had special guest, Joe Sangl speak to us about money. This is a tough subject with church goers and even tougher for seekers but Joe knocked it out of the park by showing us that […]
READ MOREI’ve heard that, “While the cat’s away, the mice will play.†Sometimes it’s true of church attendance—not so much anymore at SCC because we have such stellar speakers come in when I am gone. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are those who only come when I’m not there! Just kidding! But who knows? Anyway, […]
READ MOREI can’t tell you how many times I hear people talk about how their finances (or rather, ‘lack thereof’) are ruining their lives. They put it many different ways, but it’s all the same… We can never seem to make ends meet. We’re just living pay check to pay check. There nothing left over at […]
READ MOREShameless Plug: Don’t forget to check out the hot new blog (my wife’s) at www.michellesingleton.com Now…Here’s the wrap-up that has been forever in the writing. Last time we talked about the zillions and zillions of structures and denominations that Christians have come up with over the last 2,000 years. It’s pretty easy to see all […]
READ MOREToday I won the battle of the blog! What’s that? It’s the 2 person battle between me and my wife over whether or not she should start a blog of her own. Up until today she saw no reason for it. Excuses included, but were by no means limited to; I like just reading yours […]

The psalms have a lot of recurring themes and David (the one who wrote the most Psalms) seems to harp (no pun intended) on one particular theme over and over again. Seriously, I wonder why God wanted this, or allowed this, certainly inspired this, to the extent […]
READ MORENew Name — Same Old BAD Idea. “Friends with Benefits” (Uncovering Relational Myths). This is the title and tagline of our next series. I know. I know. pallen@southbrookchurch.com Now that we have that out of the way, let me tell you why we are doing this. There are many reasons: I heard this discussed the […]
READ MOREIt never gets old. I love seeing people from all walks of life—from brand new believers to seasoned veterans taking the many classes we offer at SCC. We have 101 for those fairly new to Southbrook (Discovering Southbrook), 201 (discovering the Spiritual Habits), 301 (Discovering my spiritual gifts) and 401 (discovering my mission). I just […]
READ MOREOk, I know that weather predictions aren’t usually all that stellar, but there seems to be a slight chance we will have at least some slush, oops, snow later today. So you might want to come to the Saturday evening service this weekend (tonight) since it might look white and fluffy but the roads should […]
READ MOREFor the 3 of you who care to know where my last post was heading, here it is. I left off saying the following: Little dogs are lot like timid believers, a lot like scared Christ followers.
