2006 was an incredible year for me, our family, and Palm Valley Church. It was a year of some great high’s and great low’s, lessons learned, growth opportunities, huge celebrations, strengthened relationships, and so much more. Here’s some random recap thoughts from the past year…
Having a baby girl is incredible. After 3 boys (whom I […]
Our whole family has been sick this week. The kids have ear infections and colds. Lori and I have sinus infections as well as colds. We all have Pink Eye. Many are running temps, the baby has double ear infections, it’s chaos at the Rohlinger household.
We’ve started on the drugs, so we’re hoping to get […]
I was blown away by what happened at Palm Valley this weekend, and it reminded me of the potential we have to reach this community for Christ! We had nearly 4,000 people attend 4 services. Beyond that…
the service rocked. Our creative team did an incredible job putting together all the elements that made the service.

I want to wish each of you a very Merry Christmas. I pray that you have a wonderful day. To all who attend Palm Valley: thanks for being so incredibly kind and generous to Lori and I and our children.
I truly love leading Palm Valley Church, and as I look back at 2006 I realize […]
Just got off the phone with Gary, and he was jazzed. RidgeStone Church had nearly 900 people this morning at their Christmas services. That’s about 40% more than their normal Sunday attendance. I’m pumped for “the Stone”, and all God is doing in and through them. Here’s a few extra thoughts…
1) Gary got hammered (by […]
This week Daniel Conner, our High School Pastor, is leading a team of students on a trip to Rancho Sordo Mudo, Mexico. During their stay the team will be repainting the school maintenance facilities, doing some landscaping, and most importantly loving on the kids in the school. The team brought down Christmas gifts for […]
After posting this blog last week, I received an email from a friend questioning my quote of Acts 1:8, specifically the word “then”. This was an error. I was writing from my thoughts and application of this passage, and misquoted.
My belief regarding mission, and the application of this passage, remain the same. They are […]
This weekend at our Christmas service we’re focusing on “Light”. Our creative team has developed an incredible service. The music is off the hook, with some songs you would not expect on Christmas Eve. Tonight we shot video of people in our church talking about the difference Christ has made in their lives. I […]
I’ve taught often, and encouraged repeatedly, that each person in our body has the role of investing in the lives of people who don’t know Christ, and inviting them to come hear about Him.
I love to hear stories of how that’s happening. Over the past few weeks, I’ve met a ton of people at Palm […]
Sure Gary and his crew have mad rap skills, but as I mentioned a few weeks ago, the west coast isn’t giving it up to the east coast. So Michael Gray, our Communications Pastor, gave me this link to show everyone the mad dance skills I possess. Enjoy…
Greg, the dancing elf here…
Don’t be jealous that […]
