Jim Tilley

Minister of Discipleship

 

We have called a new Senior Pastor - Rev. Doug Forsberg.  We have continued to work on the details related to Pastor Doug’s start date since that wonderful candidating Sunday just a few short weeks ago.  We are excited to announce that his first Sunday with us will be June 2.  Doug is eager to start his ministry here and plans to be with us the first two weeks in June, then return to Pennsylvania to conduct a wedding, finalize the move and bring his family here for the first Sunday in July.

Worship This Sunday

We are asking everyone to wear red this Sunday in observance of Pentecost.  We will celebrate Teacher Appreciation this week at both services – for all teachers and helpers – in children’s worship, middle school and high school classes and adult classes.  The Puppets for Jesus will be with us at both services this Sunday.

 

Title:   What Never Changes

Text:   Matthew 7:24-29, Phil 1:3-14

 

Change happens in our lives!  If you doubt it, you haven't yet read the (hilarious!) lead-off letter here from our new Senior Pastor Doug!  But of course you don't doubt it: we all know change -- some delights us (like the experience Sherri and I had last weekend, seeing our (no longer shy in front of crowds -- remember that quiet little guy?) son Jonathan take the lead role by storm in a stunning and amazing musical production at Stanford.  ("Sherri, where did this zany extrovert come from?").  And all of us are in for delightful changes as we welcome Doug into our midst, into our hearts, into our leadership!  Some changes rattle us: health crises, job challenges, the bittersweet goodbyes we say to graduates in this season... But What Never Changes -- Jesus Christ in our lives -- is the Rock upon which our joy and hope are built.  Jesus uses change to build us deeper into His unchanging love!  Come Sunday and let's dig into how that works!
