In Worship 6/6/10

We took a breather from our specific discussions on Christian Belief to examine faith and the reasons we doubt.  Kevin Hikel taught us about identifying things in our lives that can cause us to doubt God’s activity in our lives.  While doubt itself is not a sin it can lead us down a path of forgetting what we know about God and forsaking his presence in our lives.  Doubt properly dealt with will challenge us to go deeper into our faith and to pursue God more fervently.  You may listen to the teaching here.  Also in our Worship Gathering we featured an original song by Kaija Hikel who provided the music for our taking communion.

Honduras Orphanage Drive

This summer we will be collecting items for our Honduras Orphanage Drive.  Needed items include bedding (twin size sheets and blankets), clothes (warm/hot weather), shoes, school supplies, towels and washcloths, and personal hygiene products.  The orphanage supports children of all ages including many teens.  You may also contribute financially to offset the cost of shipping.

Our collection spot is the Gustafson Home (Nate and Faith).  For more information contact Faith Gustafson.

Twin Lakes Christian Community

We have begun hosting regular Bible Study Fellowship Meetings in Amery in support of our church planting efforts there.  We had several people from our fellowship show up to minister and 5 people from Amery.  It was a great start to our grassroots approach to church planting.

Our next meeting will be held on June 13, 2010 at the Amery Area Senior Center.  Please continue to pray for this effort as well as volunteer some Sunday nights to help minister.  The focus of our study is on the New Testament Church in the book of Acts.  We will also be sharing the vision for the church.
