Hey Family,

Last week in our series LIFE, MONEY, LEGACY we talked about how putting God first in our finances is the most important financial decision we ever have to make. I am grateful that many of us are learning a great deal about how to handle money in ways that bring glory to God.

This Sunday we'll continue with the next step in the series, so bring your friends and loved ones--anyone who might benefit from the message. We'll also celebrate Communion as a church family.

Money can be a very controversial subject. Many of us are very sensitive about this issue because we feel uncomfortable talking about our money. However in this series we are going past our comfort zone and asking God to reshape how we think of money. Since so many divorces are caused by arguments about money and so many people find themselves in a world of stress about this subject we thought it would be good if our church learned how to deal with money in a more biblical and God honoring way.

Please don't miss this Sunday's service as we continue this series and find ourselves breaking free from the stress of not managing God's money well, come out from under debt, and be happier than we have ever been with our finances.

Hope to see you there.

--Sincerely,

Edwin

Hey Family,

We all want our financial future to look better than our financial present. No one wants to stay the same or even go backwards in our financial circumstances. So how can we make tomorrow's finances look better than yesterday's? Join us this Sunday as we continue our series LIFE. MONEY. LEGACY and learn how to leverage what we make today for the benefit of our future.

We are excited about having Pastor Raymond with us this Sunday! He will be starting off our new series titled Life, Money, Legacy. Would you like to learn how to get a handle on your finances? Would you like a plan you can implement so that you can be financially free? Pastor Ray will be sharing five suggested steps you can take so that you can get to that place God wants you to be in your finances. Join us this Sunday at 10 am and bring a friend! Come early; stay late!

Last week we started a new series titled AFTERMATH--What To Do After You've Messed Up. Because it happens to all of us. We see something that looks so good to us. Our mind knows that going after that temptation means going against God's will and His word. But we think to ourselves It's just this once, or No one will know, or I just need a little break. And then Satan has his way with us and leaves us in a place of shame.

It's at that point that many people turn away from God rather than running toward Him. But the Bible teaches us that God pursues us even when we sin. When we seek sin, God seeks to save.

I feel so guilty. I'm so ashamed. I did it again. How many times have we said this to ourselves after we've messed up and sinned and gone astray? And when we sin against God, we find ourselves having decisions to make in order to get back on track. That's why in this new series, Aftermath, we're going to find out what to do once we've messed up. How does God respond to us, and what steps should we take? Join us this Sunday at 10 a.m.and invite a friend.

Hey Family,

This Sunday we close out our True Love series, which I hope has been a blessing to you. In this last week of the series we will be talking about how sometimes love hurts. There's no escaping that...and it was never more true than in the story of what Christ did for us, pursuing us out of love even unto his death on the cross in our place. Come and hear about this greatest love of all, and bring someone you love.

We hope you have been learning and growing in our new series called TRUE LOVE. We've learned that Christ shows us the only true model for how to love others. This week in Part 3 of our series we welcome guest pastor Zac Martin of Trinity Grace Park Slope. We all want to live a life that matters, and we all want to be happy. But if we are honest about it, we often find ourselves living a life filled more with frustration. Come this Sunday at 10 a.m. as we look at John 15 and discover together what it means to live a fruitful life instead of settling for a frustrated life.

Hey Family,

Last Sunday we began a new series called TRUE LOVE. We all want to be loved--but often our relationships leave us in tears. Love is one of the most powerful emotions that we can experience, but it's also something we need to learn. Understanding the meaning of true love will affect how we function in our marriages, deal with our children, and approach relationships with others. Jesus will grow us in our ability to love, and I believe He will use this series to help it happen. So I look forward to seeing you this Sunday at 10 a.m.--and bring someone you love.

Happe Easter
