Stand Up Series Starts This Weekend

Standing up for what you believe can be hard, but it’s worth it. Join us for a series on learning to stand strong when the pressure is on. We’ll be studying the life of Daniel, a person who stood up for his convictions even though it landed him in the lion’s den. Be our guest on Sunday, November 15^th for the start of “Stand Up”.

Topics Include:

Becoming a Person of Integrity

Becoming a Person of Conviction

Becoming a Person of Prayer

Becoming a Person of Courage

Becoming a Person of Faith

Resources, Pre-marital Counseling, etc

Here is the book that referenced during the weekend service. "Preparing for Marriage" is a workbook we often use for pre-marital counseling. You can find more information about relationship resources here. Or to find out more about "Preparing for Marriage" go here.

Pray for Guidance

During the month of November, our church staff begins planning for the upcoming year. Please pray for God’s Spirit to guide us as look ahead to 2010!

Important Property Update

We have an important property update: Our lender is moving forward with foreclosing on our property. Our property will be sold in a foreclosure sale on November 12^th. As you know we have been working with the bank on possible options, but none of the scenarios worked, so the bank is taking back the property and putting it up for auction.

It’s disappointing to see this happen. But given the current economic circumstances, we simply can’t afford the property. If you’ve been reading the financial updates you know that it takes all of our Growing in Faith giving and our regular giving just to meet the church’s regular budget (and the last couple months we haven’t even been doing that). To find out more about this - click here.

P.S. Are you a Growing in Faith Supporter? If so, look for the letter that will arrive via mail. This letter addresses specific issues that will be of interest to those financially supporting Growing in Faith.

Before you say "I Do"

This Sunday we conclude our Real Relationships series with "Before You Say "I Do". If you know someone who is single, or thinking of marriage, invite them this weekend.

Also, you can listen to past topics online at our weekend message archive page.

Keeping Your Spiritual Focus

God deserves our full devotion. But the busier you get, the harder it is to keep your focus on God. This weeks passage deals with the real life challenge of putting God first, when you also have family and friends and jobs and heartaches and hassles and ups and downs that can end up taking all our time and attention. Join us this Sunday to see what the Bible says about giving God our undivided devotion.

This is part of our real relationship series.

Picture from Weekend Message

During our relationship series we talked about how our wedding vows of "for better or worse" don't always translate into "happily ever after". Here's a picture that was shown in the service. If you missed the message, you can listen to it online here.

A view from Norway

Our current series "Real Relationships" is getting some exposure in Norway. A friend I (Mike Hannah) went to seminary with, saw our series on facebook and posted about it to his friends. I'm not sure what it says, but I recognize the phrase "cutting edge". The guy who posted it, Oyvind, visited our church many years ago when he was in LA going to seminary. Thanks Ovyind for the post!
