If you’re interested, I’ll be launching a fresh design for the church site soon. Here’s a link to a preview page where you can check it out. You can also preview the new church blog here.
I wanted to take the opportunity to thank all of the super volunteers who made VBS so awesome this year! I want to give a special shout out to Donna, Charity, and Laurel who led the way in making it happen. Thanks for your hard work that played a huge role in seeing 103 kids participate. (And thanks to my Jamie for taking these great pics!)
I also wanted to thank everyone else who put so much time and effort into the week and the joy you brought to the kids.
I also thought the theme decorations for this year were way cool…I still can’t believe Ramon built a working wagon!
And last but not least, thanks to all the kids for joining in the fun!
We’ve had a great first two weeks of Wednesdays in the Park this summer. It is a big hit and a great time of fellowship and time in the Word. Hope you can join us as we gather in a different park around the city each week on Wednesday nights at 6:30pm. It is a good opportunity for us to be a positive presence in our community each week.
We’ll work on getting the video of the teachings posted on the church website for each week, but here is the first one…enjoy.
I wanted to thank everyone (and there were lots of folks) who helped get the new stage done in time for our Good Friday and Easter worship services. You guys are awesome! Thanks for serving the Lord!
Here is the BEFORE:
And here is the AFTER:
Pretty cool! Thanks again everyone!
Well, we kicked off our Tuesday morning Men’s “Contend” Study at 6:00am…way too early in the morning for me, but a great time none-the-less. Here are a few pics.
Well, a few months ago I got the staff guys good (at least I thought) by using Yearbook Yourself to create some hilarious pictures of them which I then subsequently shared with the church on a Sunday morning as a illustration about transformation. Well, Dan told me they would get me back at some point…which they did last Sunday night. Payback I guess. At our Valentines Comedy Fellowship Night everybody got a good laugh out of this video of some Wednesday night teaching from 1 Samuel that they had spliced together with some of their “questions”:
So I guess they think they’re pretty funny (it was funny…I do have to say). I guess they’re up for some friendly competition… : )
The MEN’S ADVANCE is just about here…February 5-6th at the McKenzie River Conference Center (United States Basketball Academy). Phil and I will be teaching three sessions on the topic of “Building & Fighting.” We’ll talk about principles for building and fighting on the personal front, on the home front, and on the church front. In addition, we’ll also enjoy great food, worship, and fellowship. Here’s last weekend’s video.
Here are the last few of Dan and Phil’s Men’s Advance promo videos…more funny stuff. We’ve got a good list of guys signed up to go.
Promo #4
Promo #3
Promo #2
Dan and Phil did a hilarious job with this promo video for our upcoming MEN’S ADVANCE (February 5th & 6th at the McKenzie River Conference Center).
Phil and I had a lot of fun thinking about how to creatively talk about the anticipation of Christmas…so, in case you missed it…here is the message JESUS MESSIAH from the Hanging of the Green service. These have got to be the coolest Christmas sweaters ever!
I also wanted to thank everyone who put a great deal of work into making last Sunday’s Hanging of the Green service so wonderful…especially Wayne as he worked with the Choir and Worship Team.
