    After much prayer and discussion, the Friday worship team has decided to switch from Friday night  to an early Sunday evening time.  We hope that you help us pass the word to others!  Our new 6:30 worship time will begin in January 2009.
 
   In the interim, we'd encourage you to read through the blog to get an idea of some of the worship services we had this past summer/fall.  Our prayer is that the worship experience will be more than just a one night stand. We hope it will invoke new insights, questions, thoughts, reflections, ideas, etc., and open your heart and mind to God throughout the week.

    
    This is a place where you can throw out a couple of lines so others can nibble on them, but be prepared for some tugging.  Some may take the bait and respond with their own reflections!  Add your reflections and thoughts prayerfully.

    And remember, you are always welcome to share your thoughts, struggles, experiences, reflections, etc., during the next worship experience.

08/08/08 - "What's in a Name?"  This evening, the focus was on names!  How we get names (we watched a clip from "Brother Bear" where Kenai receives his totem name), our own names (do we like them, the stories behind them, nicknames, etc.), and the negative names we are sometimes called or adopt ourselves (Loser, Ugly, No-Good).  These negative names can have a powerfully negative effect on our lives. 

To counteract that, we need to remember that God knows our "real names."   Here are just a few of the names God has for his people:  Beloved, Child, Holy One, Saved, Chosen, One who Belong to God, etc. Not only does God have pet names for us, but there are scriptures that talk about how God calls us by name (the names that God has given us). 
Isaiah 43:1-4  Isaiah 49:1  Isaiah 49:16

Read this wonderful piece called "
When God Calls You By name August 27 - September 3, 1995" by Pastor Bob Tshannuen-Moren that reminds us that God knows our names and recognizes us no matter where we are. 

During the week, listen.  God is calling your name!
