more #back2school

This year #back2school is needed more than ever, maybe for the biggest opportunity of giving hope. How can you help that be a reality? First, pray for all involved (those served and those serving), volunteer at one of the locations, give to support the events, be part of the big event, AND finally, help celebrate by sharing and continuing to serve!

Matthew 18:20 NLT

For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.

Tonight, Tuesday, July 21st from 6 to 8 is the last time to register students to be part of this event. Help us tell others about the opportunity!

It is for the children and their families. When they receive their backpack and shoes, we will be able to bless them and tell them about the hope that comes from Christ. The partnerships of church groups and friends coming together is like an exclamation point at the end of a huge event.

This is the 14th year of the #back2school outreach. There are several new locations. I cannot wait. I love the smiles on those kid’s faces.

This is year like none before due to the changes that Covid-19 is pressing us toward. We are touchless and drive-thru. Registration is drive-thru. The event will be drive-thru. We still need workers and those who will pray!

Together we are stronger. Together we gain momentum and strength. Together we make more noise. Together we serve more people. Together we are seeing God change more lives in our community. And there is more to come.

Colossians 2:2 NLT

I want them to be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love. I want them to have complete confidence that they understand God’s mysterious plan, which is Christ himself.

Pray for back2school and choose to be part of this awesome event!

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan. His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God. Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st. The book is Forgotten God . This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into. All of it is within the Holy Spirit. Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people. It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about. And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts. We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things. It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share. For me C.S. Lewis is one of those. He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class. It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before. He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born. It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian. He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
