Palm Sunday Weekend
1. I am on Facebook. Go to www.facebook.com, search for Tony Lantz and sign up to be my friend.
2. On Friday just before noon, Adin tripped over the display at Sutherlands and head planted on the corner of a metal table...he had to go get staples for the pea-sized hole in his head. Ouch!
3. On Friday night, Teri and I had a creative date. :)
4. On Saturday, we had a great family day in Olathe. We took the kids to Zonkers. The kids rode the roller coasters, the merry go round, and did some other fun stuff. They had a blast!
5. Teri shopped! (need I say more)
6. We ate at Chili's...Teri loved her soup and salad...I loved those little burger bites.
7. After we got home, I watched the Final Four games and then got mentally and spiritually prepared for Sunday morning.
8. Sunday morning...our 8:45 prayer time was good, Pastor's Chat was intriguing as we studied Passion week, and the service was great!
9. Worship was very good. Good job PC and the worship team!
10. Anton did a knockout job as "seeing Bartimaeus". Way to go Anton!
11. I thought the message went really well. There was 1 salvation and 4 redidications! Jesus is so cool!
12. Sunday afternoon, 11 guys played basketball. My team only won a few times...must have been because Sarah Stewart wasn't there holding up "non-tone" signs. :)
13. Sunday night was a fun night at Flint Hills lanes. I won't tell you what I bowled...but the Journey looked like they had a great crowd.
14. I'm excited about Easter Sunday!
15. Invite, invite, invite everybody you know to church for Easter!
16. Pray and fast for God to do a mighty work in the lives of people on Easter!

TeamLIFE Ministry Weekend
1. Sometimes when there is a busy weekend or bad things happen over the course of a weekend, I know that God is going to do great things in our services. I had a wedding Friday and Saturday, Teri got sick, and our kitchen table bench fell on her foot on Sunday morning. Please pray that she gets better quick.
2. God moved in our Sunday morning services this weekend. (I love the Holy Spirit!!!)
3. We missed all our college students today . . . I hope they are having a good spring break. We love them and look forward to having them back this next weekend.
4. It took us a little while to warm up in worship this morning but when we did God moved around the altars.
5. I was so pleased to see people responding to the presence of the Lord and I am looking forward to the good reports of healing and salvations that we prayed over many of you this morning. God is to be glorified.
6. Did I say I love the Holy Spirit? I do!!! :)
7. My prayer is that the people of Life Church don't just get in ministry to get in ministry, but that they develop a heart to do ministry because they desire to glorify God!
8. All glory goes to God for a good weekend! :)

Chasing The Wild Goose Weekend
1. It was a hectic weekend at the Lantz home...
2. On Sunday, 8:45am prayer time was good. God moves when His people pray! :)
3. Chad and Lindsay took us out for a late Pastor's Appreciation Dinner. They even took care of a baby sitter (thanks Sarah Fox). Man, was that steak good!!! (thanks Chad and Lindsay)
4. Yesterday, I preached a message titled CONTAGIOUS PURSUIT . . . PART 3 of the "Ekklesia" Series. My goal was to prepare our church for revival by encouraging our people to get out of the cage and chase the Spirit of God. (The Celts called Him "The Wild Goose!")
5. I want our church to know the heartbeat behind why we want to experience revival. This town will not see 10,000 salvations (as prophesied) unless we experience revival. I believe this message was intended for every Christ-follower that calls Life Church their home.
6. Daylight Savings is one of the lowest attended Sundays every year at Life Church. We didn't do too bad this year. Good job Life Church! As always there were exceptions . . . a few families still didn't set their clocks back . . . I laughed at all of them! :)
7. Even with a little lower attendance, the altar time was good!
8. I used a cage from Bluestem for a visual in my message yesterday. I love to illustrate points with videos or visuals. It helps to drive home the point, and it helps people to remember what was said. (Thanks Bruce, over at Bluestem, - you are always so helpful and generous with us as a church.)
9. This coming Sunday, I am preaching about the excitment of a contagious church that is into ministry. I'm really excited to study for this message.
10. This Sunday is "TeamLIFE T-SHIRT SUNDAY"!!! Woohoo . . . now this is going to be a fun Sunday! :)
11. Don't forget Chris and Melissa's wedding this Saturday. What a story of how God has worked in 2 people's lives. They are awesome and it's an honor to do their wedding!
