Who else is excited about our Groundbreaking!?!?

Chance is just one of our children here at Community who’s excited about getting this Children’s Building started!

“Celebrate God. Sing together—everyone! All you honest hearts, raise the roof!” (Psalm 32:11 MSG)

This Saturday, September 2nd, at 5pm we’ll celebrate and pray and eat and smile a lot as we have our groundbreaking party.

Following the groundbreaking, we’ll have hamburgers and hotdogs, and then our Saturday evening service where we wrap up our “At The Movies” series with family weekend and the movie SANDLOT!

From Generation to Generation

I love that our younger generation is teaching the even younger generation! Our high school and college age young people are doing an amazing job in our Children’s Ministries. 

This picture is of Mike Nobles as he shares his own testimony. In fact, on testimony weekend, elementary—college age students shared with the children about the change Jesus has brought in their lives. So amazing!

“For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.” (Psalm 100:5 NIV)

This Saturday, at our groundbreaking, we’ll have another example of doing everything we can for this next generation.

Join us Saturday (September 2) at 5pm for our groundbreaking.

It All Starts With Prayer

Our Children’s Pastor, JoAnne Wood, would be the first to tell you we need your prayers!

If you read about the rebuilding of a demolished Jerusalem, Nehemiah begins with going to God in prayer. 

“When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven.” (Nehemiah 1:4 NIV)

Nehemiah followed that prayer with action.

As we prepare for action and begin the building of our new Children’s Building, let’s start with prayer together. 

Our GROUNDBREAKING with this coming Saturday (September 2) at 5pm. Come join us for a very special time of prayer as we launch something really special!

He is Worthy

We gather week after week after week to stand and sing and clap and worship. Why? Because God is worthy of all our praise. He is King. He is Lord. He is Creator, Redeemer, Savior and more.

Guitars, keys, drums, basses and voices…all are used with precision and love to express to the King of kings our love, our loyalty, our affection and our utter dependence.

When you realize HE is our audience, you can’t help but give it everything you have! 

“On your feet now—applaud God! Bring a gift of laughter, sing yourselves into his presence.

Know this: God is God, and God, God. He made us; we didn’t make him. We’re his people, his well-tended sheep.

Enter with the password: “Thank you!” Make yourselves at home, talking praise. Thank him. Worship him.

For God is sheer beauty, all-generous in love, loyal always and ever.” (Psalm 100:1-5 MSG)

See you this weekend!

Belief & Buildings

Our faith, motives and actions will make a difference for generations to come. This is even more clear to me as we prepare to start construction on our new Children’s Building!

The key for true effectiveness in this adventure goes way beyond bricks and mortar. This is a faith adventure. Our relationship with God has a direct effect on the children that look up to us.

“The Fear-of-God builds up confidence, and makes a world safe for your children.” (Proverbs 14:26 MSG)

I want to continue to invite you to pray for this building, our mission and especially, for all those children who will learn about Jesus in this place!

Don’t forget our GROUNDBREAKING party on September 2nd at 5pm. We’ll have hamburgers & hot dogs for all who want to hang out and eat, then we’ll go to our Saturday night service at 6:30pm. This will be one FUN night!
