Sunday, February 7, 2010

9:30am - Sunday school classes for all ages!

10:30am - Worship - John Cheny/April Yamasaki worship leading, with Cheny's music team leading congregational singing, Shigali preaching on following Jesus--how do we enable ourselves to follow all the time? What do we drop? What do we pick up along the way? What do we bypass? What does Jesus give us to carry? As part of our worship time, we would also like to thank all of our 2009 deacons, committee and council members, and have a prayer of blessing and dedication for all those continuing and taking on new responsibilities this year.

What does suffering for Christ look like today?

Last night I was glad to meet with our K2 fellowship group to lead a discussion on "Jesus Calls: Believe in Me and Follow," which is the chapter I had written for the book, Jesus Matters. Continue »

A Full Plate

One of our church members made an important observation in response to my sermon last Sunday. "What you said applies to our personal lives too," she said. "There are so many opportunities, we need to have focus and make decisions, or our plate gets too full." Continue »
