Loving God, Loving Others, Serving the World                                                                    May 21, 2009
 
 

Connecting...
 
For the past few weeks in worship we have been taking a look at the Lord's Prayer as a means of connecting with God and with one another. We're discovering that a prayer that Jesus taught his followers 2,000 years ago has a lot to offer Jesus' followers (and others) in 2009. If you have missed any of the sermons you can find them here. 
 
This week we will explore together The Prayer of Cleansing, "Forgive us our sins..." We will talk about the things that we do that separate us from God and from one another, how that makes us and keeps us "stuck," and what we can do about it.
 
It's a topic that can produce freedom for our lives. I encourage you to join us!
 
Peace,
Pastor Jason
 
Vacation Bible School

This July we are inviting the kids in our neighborhood to Camp E.D.G.E. This high-energy, weekly gathering will encourage participants to experience and discover God everywhere as they are enjoying great stories, games, snack, and other activities. 
 
We would love to have as many hands as possible to help out with this and since we have gone to a weekly instead of a daily format, it will be easier than ever to participate. See, call, or email Carol Lewis for more information!

 An Outflow Opportunity
This Summer, we will begin an exciting new outreach event for our community. Every Tuesday night from 5:30-7:00 we will be providing a free, no-strings-attached meal for whoever wants to come. It will be for anyone that is hungry for food or fellowship. We have two people in our church who will be providing leadership for this endeavor, but they will need a lot of help! We're looking for volunteers to help cook, set up, clean up, and folks just to come and enjoy a meal and engage their table mates in conversation. We also need to raise some funds to help us get started. Our starting goal is $2,500.
 
If you would like to help, fill out a response card on Sunday morning, give us a call at the office (561-582-6691) or email us.If you want to send us a check, put "Community Dinner" in the memo line.
