Beginning Sunday October 18 - Take the Journey with Us

Beginning Sunday October 18 Take the Journey with Us Our church family will begin a 40 day journey together. We will focus on the two great commandments….Love God, Love each other. There is conflict, divorce, violence, prejudice, abuse and division all around us. It is obvious that we need to know how to build healthy relationships and that is what 40 Days of Love is all about. Questions You May Be Asking: What is 40 Days of Love? 40 Days of Love is a completely new church-wide, six-week personal growth emphasis featuring a group based study series, daily devotional readings from the Bible, and weekend sermon messages from Jeff. In addition, to help us grow together we will study the same meditation verse daily. And, because a primary goal of 40 Days of Love is to put what we learn into action, groups will also choose a practical “Reaching Out in Love” project to do together. Is 40 Days of Love something I can bring my friends who don’t go to church? YES! 40 Days of Love is focused on how to love as Jesus did, so it will have an impact on everyone, whether you’re a seeker, a stumbler or a saint! We all have a desire for deeper, more authentic relationships, so this is a perfect study to invite any friend to join. Discussions on topics such as forgiveness, selflessness, and kindness will hit at the heart of what we all need to renew and strengthen our relationships.

Vacation in the Bahamas

A few weeks ago we (Kim, the girls and me) took a cruise on Carnival Sensation to the Bahamas. The ship was huge - 4 football fields long - it was like a maze of fun. Swimming pools. Hottubs. Comedy. Four different bands - playing everything from Hendrix to Allman Brothers to Reggae to disco - We danced. We ate. We shopped on the ship and off - we went to Nassua. We paddle glass bottomed kayaks. We went snorkling and saw a million different fish - that was amazing! Unbelievable - a whole world of life teeming under clear blue water. We read Psalm 104 and we thanked God for a memory maker vacation for our family!
