Powerful PowerLunch Fall Season

This week we closed another great season of PowerLunch at Prestonwood. For those of you who live in the Dallas area and have never attended, I’m giving you ample notice ... mark your calendar and come out next season because we got a great lineup of speakers already!

We’ve been hosting PowerLunch as long as I’ve been the pastor of Prestonwood. It’s a lunchtime gathering we have every Tuesday in the Student Ministry Building. I invite guest speakers who have a powerful message. And I’m telling you, during our 12 gatherings from September to December, we had some amazing speakers that drew nearly 8,000 people. The great thing was that so many of the people on any given Tuesday were first-time attendees.

We heard the amazing story behind the I Am Second campaign from Nathan Sheets and Norm Miller. Michelle Aguilar, the winner of the The Biggest Loser: Families (sixth season) talked about the great challenge she endured, both physically and emotionally. Nearly 1,500 came out to hear Anne Graham Lotz, Billy’s daughter, who blessed us with an incredible message. Emmy-Award winning broadcaster Deborah Norville talked to us about “respect.” And then there was Ron Hall and Denver Moore, who were returning to PowerLunch for the third time... They were just as great this time around. It was just a remarkable season ... and I can’t wait for the next one, which kicks off Jan. 12.
