"You cannot grow fruit by dipping the plant into the dirt once a year. It takes an ongoing connection to build a root system." [Henry Cloud]

Hi friends. A quick reminder that there will be NO SERVICE THIS SUNDAY [December 29th]! Enjoy a restful Sunday morning- sleep in, eat that extra piece of bacon, hang out with your family or friends and most importantly spend some time with God. We will see you all on January 5th!
Tomorrow morning we kick-off a special series titled "CHRISTMAS YARN: a long story of God's redemption." Grab a cup of coffee, pull up a chair, and lean in as the story begins tomorrow morning at 10 am at Eli Pinney.
With the Thanksgiving feast barely behind us, we are plunging into the Christmas season. What greater way to do that than to throw a big party!! Lets invite our friends, neighbors, & relatives being mindful of our innate human desire for connection as those "made for friendship.”
Our annual Day of Generosity is tomorrow! We are trusting the Lord to raise up $40,000 to invest in what God is doing through Vision Trust in Cruz Blanca & CRU at Ohio State. May you prayerfully consider giving generously towards these ministries we partner with as a church?
"Religion to me is almost like when God leaves – and people devise a set of rules to fill in the space." -Bono

"We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies." -MLK Jr.
