May '20
Hey everyone and we are still social distancing and yes COVID-19 pandemic is still with us. The governor has let the stay at home order end yesterday. We should be getting much closer to meeting again. We will keep everyone updated on when that will be.
This Sunday our service will be Online again on Facebook Live. This Sunday we will continue our sermon series, “Four Best Places to Live.” Where does the Bible say we should dwell? We’re going to look at the Four Best Places to Live according to God and Scripture. The first two places are “The House of Worship” and “The House of Prayer.” If you missed them you can check them out on our Facebook page, YouTube channel, or church website.

But In Those Days

The old pastor made it a practice to visit the church’s Christian school one day a week. He walked into the fourth-grade class, where the children were studying the states, and asked them how many states they could name.

No Dogs Allowed

Apr '20
There’s a guy with a Doberman pinscher and a guy with a Chihuahua. The guy with the Doberman pinscher says to the guy with the Chihuahua, “Let’s go over to the restaurant and get something to eat.”
The guy with the Chihuahua says, “We can’t go in there. We’ve got dogs with us.”
The guy with the Doberman pinscher says, “Just follow my lead.”
They walk over to the restaurant, the guy with the Doberman pinscher puts on a pair of dark glasses, and he starts to walk in. A guy at the door says, “Sorry, Mac, no pets allowed.”

Christ is risen! This proclamation isn’t just an event that we celebrate on Easter Sunday. It is our Christian battle cry!
Christ is risen! Notice the present tense is. This isn’t an event in the past. It is an ever-present happening that fuels our living and vibrant faith! Christ is alive and working through you and me! Christ is! Right now! Hallelujah!

We hope and pray that you all are being safe and that everyone is in good health. Due to the recommendations by the CDC and the local authorities, we regret to inform you that the physical church facility will remain closed for at least until April 30. We will, however, continue to hold worship services and other events and classes online on Facebook. [Also working on another possibly way so more people can tune in.]

This past Sunday we talked about the Art of Gratefulness and I issued a challenge to everyone. And I want to issue that challenge to you again today.
I think it is really going to be something that will help you this week. And I want you to, if you will, accept our one week no-complaints challenge.

Beaux Tate

My dog, Beaux Tate, was in the back window of our house and he saw a rabbit and he is barking. He kept his eye on that rabbit and when I let him out into the backyard, he continued to look for that rabbit that had long ran away. But that did not deter him, he just kept looking in that direction and barking.

How Are Your Children

Feb '20
Two friends who hadn’t seen each other in years met in a supermarket. One woman asked, “Tell me Ruth, how is your son George?”
“He’s getting along fine,” Ruth replied. “He’s a poet. He just received his master’s degree in literature from the university.”
“And what about Mary?”
“She’s just as smart as George,” Ruth replied. “She graduated from college with a degree in modern art.”
