I spent a bunch of time over the last couple weeks mapping out the sermon series for the New Year. We are going to be looking at some very practical stuff, wrestling with some big issues, going all out for the Easter season, and working our way through a book of the Bible. It's going to be great. I'm excited!

This week we graduated our first class from The Bible Story Course. Pretty exciting stuff. If you want to more check out section below.

We wrap up "What Child IS This?!" by looking at the whole idea that God didn't just come as a human but as a baby.

The Bible Story Course is a 6 week journey through the Bible. We look at the overarching story that runs thought the whole Bible and come to understand how all the pieces fit together. If you are interested in taking BSC the and want to be notified next time it's offered, send me an email.

Sunday is the final day to get your luvHAITI Christmas Catalogue orders in. Be a part of the Deep Water effort to make a difference this Christmas. You can select from items in the catalogue that best suit the areas you want to impact. And together we can provide love and support to the people of Haiti.

Thank You cards are available if you wish to make your catalogue order a Christmas gift for a friend or family member.

Make your Christmas make a difference!

There are many volunteers who work crazy hard each week to make our Worship Gathering happen. We are all for working hard on the mission God has given us but we also understand that intentional periods of rest ('sabbaths' if you need the bible word) are important and so each year we take the last Sunday of the year off to rest, relax, and get ready to give it everything we have for the next 51. That means there will be no Worship Gathering on Sunday Dec 27th. Visit another church with some friends or family, take the morning to spend some time with God (maybe do that mini-retreat you never got around to) or even just sleep in. Then show up Jan 3rd ready for another great year of following Jesus together.

And now you're in the loop.
