Dennis Zech (Christian Illusionist) and our first BIG winter snow storm


His website is: http://www.4truth.org/


Then just this weekend with had our first BIG snow - When it was all done likely about 1 1/2 to 2 feet of snow. Quite a bit over 36 hours!!!

We are also preparing our move down the street to our new storefront. Move in date is officially December 6. I have done a lot of work on it along with some others. Working on the building has definitely cut into my time in pastor duties, hopefully after this work, I will back into a regular schedule as pastor.

I have about 10 sermons to still put online soon. I also just finished our series on Church Foundations and Ephesians recently. Pastor Tim just finished a mini-series on Worship - Real good!

We'll that's all for now. As always, there are the trials in life and ministry (welcome to earth). So without getting into details, your prayers are appreciated. JESUS IS LORD!

Until next time keep walking with Jesus.

November - Election, more about our church, our dog singing


We'll the elections are over and I can't say I miss all the political commercials. This election went as I thought it would, and now I believe America shall bear the consequences for voting as they did. I don't know how any Christian with an ounce of understanding could have voted for Obama. Personally, I feel this is the beginning of God's severe judgment on our nation. I don't fear as I know my redemption draws nigh. The signs of Christ soon return are all around us.

In other news Marty (and Rebecca - his grown daughter) and Eric and Alfredo (see pic above) came down from NH to help us get our new church location worked on. In their short visit much was accomplished. Marty also ministered at the church a needed message on the "levels of authority". It was a needed sermon, I hope those who needed it the most heard it with hearing ears and open hearts.

I also just finished our series on "Foundations of the Church" and Pastor Tim is teaching on "Biblical Worship".
We are planning to start an official membership within weeks. A needed thing in our church (and Biblically based).

As for the new building the countdown is on, as we are moving in there the first week of December. To me this could and should be "new beginnings" for our church as many changes are happening and will be happening with the move.

On a side note with the clothes Marty and others gave us we are giving clothes away and tomorrow it will be open to the public to come for free clothes (at our new location).

Also, our last Guest Speaker - Dennis Zech (http://www.4truth.org/) for the year will be at the church this Saturday. We are praying God will use him to speak to many young and old.

Here is short clip of our dog Rusty singing, we get a laugh out of it, hope you all will too.


We'll that's all for the moment.
