A Note From Caleb Anderson

MessageFrom-HB

Someone surprised the group I was with recently and bought our entire meal—seven people. We were sitting there with our cards out anticipating the painful process of split-and-tip when the server said, “Oh, it’s been taken care of.” Awesome!

And that one act of kindness inspired a member of our group to buy a subsequent meal for another table of people later in the week. Feel the love, spread the love!

How can you spread a little love between today and Sunday?

It gets real these next two Sundays. Make sure you join us this week for a hope-filled message about…

LOVE | DATING | MARRIAGE

Normal service times:

8:30 | 10 | 11:30 | 6*

…As we continue in our Art of Relationships series. Jump over to Facebook and watch an intro video I just shot, then share it with your friends as an invitation to church.

Remember, everyone around you is going through something—something that you’re probably unaware of. Create “buffers of grace” and love people even when they don’t deserve it. We’re becoming better people and making this world a better place as we invite God to love others through us.

*Bonus tasty treat on the patio following the 6pm service.

See you Sunday.

I love our church! For so many reasons… but one is the way people love, serve, and support the cause. There are two people in our office right now brainstorming ideas on how they can use their skills and experience with social media to help our church more effectively reach and engage an online audience.

 If you have skills, talents, experiences, or ideas that you think might benefit the greater good of our church or larger community, let us know!

Reminder: NO 6 PM service this week only! Instead, our Life Groups are hosting Super Bowl parties. If you don’t have a place to watch the Super Bowl, tell any of our staff or volunteers on the patio and we’ll find a place for you.

Since we don’t have a 6 PM service this week, I expect our AM services to be pretty full. So come early, and have patience if you run into a road blocked off for people running on Goldenwest Street in high shorts while eating goo to distract themselves from the shooting pain in their joints.

In the meantime, consider these verses from Psalm 103:

The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. He will not constantly accuse us, nor remain angry forever. He does not punish us for all our sins; he does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve. For his unfailing love toward those who fear him is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth. He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west.”

 vv.8-12

That’s good news. Good news for YOU. Embrace it. You’re forgiven.

See you Sunday,

caleb

P.S.: 6 PM’ers, you should definitely come back to our 6 PM service next week on Valentine’s Day, 2/14. We’ll have something special for ALL to enjoy!

A Note From Jairus Williams

I hope you are having a fantastic week so far. I always miss our church and worshiping together when I’m away but I had a great excuse… I was celebrating 15 YEARS of marriage to my amazing wife, Stacey! She deserves a special weekend after putting up with me all these years, don’t you think? If you see her, congratulate her on being such a saint and a wonderful wife. I am a lucky, lucky guy! Time away is refreshing and time to reflect is needed. For me, it always produces a heart and desire to reconnect and press forward. It is a gift.

I am so proud of the worship leaders God is bringing and developing in our church and I love how YOU are all growing as worshipers. It’s not an easy thing to wake up on a Sunday morning, roll out of bed and get to church on time in the midst of all that is going on AND be ready to sing and shout with raised hands. But when I look out, I see passion and an expectation that when you do, God is going to do something GREAT. I challenge you this week to ask yourself these questions. What if we went through every day looking for God to do something great, waiting for Him to show us something or speak to us?

DON’T MISS this week as we continue in this relationship series. Invite someone to come with you.

If you missed last week, here is the link to Caleb’s message.

If you would like to be a part of our Worship Ministry and lead people each week with us, WE NEED YOU! We are having auditions on Feb 6th…get more info and fill out an application HERE!

See you Sunday!
