Last week, a young lady from our community was abducted, possibly raped, and murdered. Bri was 21, and she had been missing for 2 days before the Search and Rescue Teams found her body, and her immediate family were all part of that team. (read more here) I know this is a heavy post, but [...]

In August every year (well the last 2 years), just after school starts back we have a big weekend we call FamilyLife Weekend. Basically, the idea is to give our families a chance to worship together.

I thought I’d share last weeks bumper with you as my creative chaos. We thought it’d be cool to spotlight a few of our volunteers who faithfully serve [...]

It’s the difference between a “nice” lawn and a “well-manicured” lawn… which is a BIG difference. It’s an easy step to skip and [...]

a lesson in being prepared

Now, thats not necessarily a big surprise because in that last few months we’ve had it go out during services, but typically its only for a second or two. Don’t get me wrong, that’s bad, because it takes a few minutes to [...]

one prayer recap

I’ve loved the One Prayer series, its been incredible. Not only is it one of the most innovative things the global church has done, but its had an amazing effect on our local church.

goin’ multi-site

For the last year we’ve been feeling that multi-site was the direction God was taking us. I had the opportunity to go check out LifeChurch.tv and see how they roll… which is a sight to be seen if you’ve never been out there.  Go. Thats all I’ve got to say. Anyway, all you guys in [...]
