family,

I hope you'll invite a friend this Sunday when we continue our brand-new series, The Jesus I Never Knew. All of us have seen those game shows where the contestant has to pick either door #1, door #2, or door #3. Usually there's a wonderful prize behind one door and something not so wonderful behind the other two. Since we're all familiar with doors being a way to either great treasure or terrible disappointment, it's interesting when Jesus says about himself, "I am the door." He's speaking to the desperate needs we all have in our lives--for security, salvation, satisfaction, and more.

He's a door that we all need to walk through and trust. I look forward to seeing all of you at 360 Schermerhorn. Church for adults and for kids ages 5-12 starts at 10 a.m. --Edwin
