Since we reached the goal for Pastor Steve to shave his head, he let the youth group take the clippers to him.
Vacation Bible School started today (7/12) with 41 kids in attendance! Join us tomorrow for another imaginary trip to Egypt.
We are proud to be launching a new fundraiser at Played-Out.org
This fundraiser is a video game marathon where the more money we raise, the longer the youth group will play video games. With all the fun and games, we will be raising money for the Kid's Aid charity (which provides backpacks of food to school children on the weekends) as well as for the church.
You can help by: Donating to the fundraiser, Bringing canned foods (see list here), and helping to spread the word.
Visit the Played Out website for more details.
Speaking as Peter was both challenging and encouraging. Trying to get into the mind of someone is a challenge. What were they thinking at various points in their life. Sometimes with Peter I read what he says and want to slap him and ask "What could you possibly have been thinking?" I attempted to bring out the confusion Peter must have felt as Jesus rebuked him numerous times for just giving his two cents worth. In the end I was struck with the ways in which Peter wanted to meet Jesus on his own terms, not on God's terms. One passage i could considered turning to in addition to those mentioned was Mark 10 where the disciples rebuked people for bringing little children to Jesus. It just seems so logical to protect the teacher from the children...Somehow, God's logic is often different from ours!

One of the things Pastor Andrew mentioned in his message Sunday was that "when you make a habit of living in sin, you are making a habit of ignoring God." A powerful statement that deserves extra reflection!
