THANK YOU CHURCH!
June 23, 2010 by Brian Smith
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU CHURCH! The donations for the families of the townhouse fire have been overwhelming! To the point where we need to stop collecting for the time being.
Once they are able to move back into their homes we will start another more specific request for items. You are all a blessing, thanking God for you!
HELP: 5 Families in Need Following Fire
June 5, 2010 by Brian Smith
update: 6/9
We have determined that there is a need for furniture, especially bedroom stuff as the bedrooms of the units were destroyed since they were on the upper levels. Stuff that we can take: beds (frame & mattresses), dressers, cribs, change tables, kitchen tables, chairs, sofa, tv stand/entertainment center, etc… Please contact us BEFORE you drop stuff off by emailing Brian here.
We have an opportunity to BE the church for some people in our community with a BIG need….
Last night a fire claimed the homes of 5 families in a complex in Cottage Grove. A big need for these people is clothing, cards to Target, Cub, Rainbow, etc.
We are collecting the following clothing items, if you can help out please bring items to church and place in/around the shopping cart where food shelf donations are made:
- L-3XL Women’s Clothing
- 0-3mo Boys
- 2T-5T – Boy’s & Girls
For questions and/or more information please email Brian by clicking here.
Follow Jesus, Live Love!
The Most Dangerous Prayer

This little video has been on the digital shelf for about two years. Thought I’d blow the dust off and share it again. The Most Dangerous Prayer.

I was asked by our denomination to shoot a short video on what it’s like to be a mission church 2 1/2 years after launch. Thought I’d share.

I missed you all this last weekend. Had a beautiful and much needed daddy weekend. But, I’ll warn you I woke up hungry to preach on Sunday and am already looking forward to next week. We are entering into some awesome parts of Romans.
To the real reason for this post. This last weekend our friend Jenny invited us to serve for a couple hours with a ministry called Kids Against Hunger. As a parent it is really hard to find missional things that the entire family could be a part of. So, this was such a gift. My 4 year old daughter was helping to load bags of food while my hair net clad boys filled them, weighed them and passed them down.
It was an awesome experience. So much so that I’m thinking that this could be a great thing for our church to get involved with on our own. Praying on that. Potentially more to come at a later date.
