Building Update II

Building Update No. 2

Well here it is and the reason that you should check often to read the blog.  Jeremy and I along with a few others will be meeting with the sellers of the property that we have been looking at and praying over for a number of months.  We will be discussing terms and price and every possibility under the sun in order for us to get into a permanant location.

What do we need from tides?  Prayer!  And lots of it.  Prayer that the Holy Spirit would be present and working through us.  Prayer that we would find favor in the eyes of the seller so that we could find some common ground in our terms that we present.  Prayer that we would have an impact for the Lord even in the war room of negotiation and prayer that everyone would come out a winner.

 Thank you for all of your prayer support and continued financial support as we move forward with expectant hearts to find our home!   Check back next week for another update.  Pastor Bryan

New Service Times This Week

New Service Times This Week  April 20th 8:45 | 10am | 11:15

We are looking forward to Mothers day this year when we will permanantly launch three services on sunday mornings!  What a great challenge for us as a church and what a great opportunity we have to meet the needs of a growing community.

On a separate note pray for us this next week as we get out and knock the golf ball around at our third annual Hackfest Golf Marathon on monday the 21st of April.   About 25 golfers from our church will risk heat exaustion, sun burns and personal embarrasment to raise dollars for our church and our building project so that we can take the next step toward a permanant facility.   Should be exciting, we will put all of the photos on the website next week so check back.

 Also please pray for us as we meet with the sellers of the buildings next week.    I can not contain my excitement as I think about the possibilities that are in store for us as a church.  I will update you on this meeting in exactly one week.  Thanks for being patient and faithful in your giving to this project!

I look forward to this week as we continue our study called Fearless.  This week we will address the Fear of Losing Control.  Don’t miss a single one of the three remaining weeks!   

Marry and Bury

A lot of people ask me what’s going on and I don’t always have the time honestly to stop and enjoy a cup of coffee and  conversation even though I want to.  I have found that blogging really helps me to connect with a lot more folks and I really enjoy it too!  So here’s what’s going on…

I bought a new (marrying and burying) suit last week.  Some of the things that Pastors are known for doing is weddings and funerals.  That is something that I have been doing a lot more of lately.   This Saturday I have one more wedding for a former student and then I can breathe.  Sometimes in the ministry like anything else things happen in seasons.  We are also in a season of growth. We introduced a third service on the 16th and had five services for Easter on the 23rd.  I love it!  This is what we moved to Elsinore to do!  The Ride Of Your Life is the name of our building campaign and we are living it everyday!  More to come on that by the way real soon.  Tune in next week!

Last week we launched a brand new 6 week series called Fearless.  I said on Sunday that Fear is the enemies Faith.  We discussed the Fear of Rejection and my inbox was full of positive response from folks who are being lied to by the enemy.  Let’s not let him win!  This week we will address the Fear of Failure.  Challenge yourself to come over the next several weeks I am confident that your life will be better because you did!

That’s what’s going on.  I mean there’s more but I don’t want to bore you with my toe fungus and oh we register Caeden for kindergarten tomorrow.  I will cry the whole way… I beg him every day not to grow up!  He promises that he will still love me and kiss me when he is a teenager but I have seen some of your teenagers and here comes FEAR (I’m in the fetile position now)!  That should be a topic in our study, Fear of teenagers.  Sorry.  See what happens when I get off the chain.

God Bless all 3 of you that read this (lol) and I hope to see you at a Sunday morning at tides soon!
