Thoughts from the weekend

Thoughts from the weekend:

It was wonderful to CELEBRATE the sale of our Palos Property together!

God is good - all the time!

As Frank Wolf said yesterday, many thanks to our church family for working with us (two business meetings) and praying!

You are ALL loved and appreciated!

I enjoyed the worship at the end of both services. 

"Father, we desire to experience not only your presence but your glory."

We praise God for what He has done in our lives.

We worship God for who He is.

Second service yesterday - lots of new faces.

Our word for the year as a pastoral staff - assimilation.  We as a church family must minister and work at assimilating all of the wonderful folks that God is sending us.

It is exciting!

What a challenge to have!

Upward basketball on Saturday mornings continues to be an incredible time of connection to non-churched people - as well as ministry to our own church family.

Condolences to Rob McFarlin who's mom went to be with the Lord last week.

Congratulations to Gary and Joyce Arvin for turning 50!  We had the privilege of celebrating with them on Saturday evening (along with many family and friends). 

I encourage everyone to invite a friend to come to one of our church services.

Hey, while I am thinking about it - let me also invite you to come to our marriage conference with Dave and Millie Gable on Friday, February 10th and Saturday February 11th.

The cost is free - child care provided.

Guys, nothing would please your "bride" more than bringing her to at least one of the two sessions.

Just trying to help you.  :)

Friday:  7:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M.

Saturday:  9:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M.

Room 102 at the church.

Our theme statement for the year:  We desire to over hope and over believe each challenge set before us.

Can't wait to see you again Sunday!
