A Baby is Coming...
Next week, Allison and I will welcome a new baby boy into our lives. We are so excited, but scared of having two children under the age of two in our house. I have been praying without ceasing these last 9 months.
I will however say that the excitement and anticipation of a new child being born so close to Christmas makes Advent feel different.
I hope you will join us or another group of Pilgrims with Advent Season as we journey toward the celebration of the Birth of Jesus. And I will look forward to sharing more stories of how the journey of parenthood connects with my journey of faith.
Dr. Leonard Sweet - @ the Source
I am so pumped about this weekend... Mission First is launching Saturday at Noon. Come out to 503 N. Central Expressway, November 15 to eat a free lunch, listen to great music, let the kids play on the inflatables, and shop at the International Christmas market.
Then on Sunday morning come back out at 11:05 a.m. and listen to Dr. Leonard Sweet as he share a timely message, "Outstorming Life's Storms." Dr. Sweet will share two more times with our church community this weekend.
Sunday night at 6:00 p.m
Monday evening at 7:00 p.m.
If you haven't read any of his books, "Soul Tsunami, Aqua Church, and Gospel According to Starbucks (to name a few), don't worry. Come out and listen to a great writer and pastor who will challenge Christians and the church to live faithfully in our postmodern world.
I hope you will come and join us as we listen for how we can continue to strive and thrive along our journey of faith.
