Weekly Update - 4/7



For the next six weeks, Randy and Jared will be "co-preaching" a series on "The Church and the Family".  
Today they gave us a preview of what's to come, with the text from Matthew 5:13-16 and Deuteronomy 6:1-2.
Randy also talked about the book "Think Orange" by Reggie Joiner. This book will be prefaced throughout this series. It takes a "look at what would happen if the church and families combined their efforts to create a revolutionary strategy to affect the lives of children".
If you click here, you can order the book.

Thank you Stephen Gerrald for the beautiful songs today... especially when you added the children for two songs.  Thank you to all those who excitedly joined him!!
