Man of Faith, Mission, and Vision

Parade Magazine named Joe Ehrmann the most important coach in America. Sunday, Joe will be our guest for all three morning services. He has had a profound impact on our philosophy of coaching others and the book, Season of Life, tells the story of his life and message. You will be inspired by this man of faith, mission, and vision. Great day to bring all the friends you can round up.

1 Thessalonians 5:14-18 And we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone. Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else. Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

Another Generation

We found out this week that our family name will continue for another generation. Travis and Melisa learned that their baby due in February is a boy! We are excited for them and for us.

Speaking of family, Cathy and I are going to team up this Sunday to teach principles we have learned to keep our relationship strong. Some of life’s greatest pain comes through broken relationships. We want to avoid that kind of pain and seek God’s wisdom for discovering the greatest joy life has to offer.

In case you are looking for something to do Friday night, September 10, I wanted to let you know our high school football team is playing on our home field at 7:30 p.m. Come on out and enjoy a tri-tip sandwich or a hot dog and some exciting football.

2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.

You & Me

Family will be our focus for the month of September. We are all connected to a family whether single or married. Life is made up of relationship challenges and joys and our hope is to major on the joys of family life. Our family continues to grow. We went with Travis and Melissa this week to the ultrasound appointment to discover the gender of their baby due in February. The rascal was elusive and did not give the technician opportunity to make a definite determination. So, we wait one more week and go back for another visit. It is so incredible to see the baby in the womb and anticipate the gift God is giving to our kids.

We are looking forward to an awesome experience with you in worship this week. Also, mark your calendar for Sunday night, September 19. We will have a special evening of worship with Freeway 50 and the songs from this new CD.

Hebrew 10:23-25 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
