Hello everyone,
This weekend we continue our study through the Book of Acts with the message, “The Raising Of Eutychus From The Dead” from Acts 20:1-17. Attached you will find your Digging Deeper Bible study notes.
Good Friday And Resurrection Day Services Report
On Good Friday and Resurrection Day Sunday, were blessed to have over 400 people worship with us at Shoreline Community Church for our three services – PTL! Thank you for being faithful in inviting people to attend church with you.
Exciting Times!
Preliminary projects for the expansion of our church sanctuary have begun. The new expansion will add 122 more seats to our sanctuary. From now on you will see small steps as we prepare for the expansion project this summer. The building project will allow us to seat 370 people for church each Sunday morning.
Baptism Service Coming – Sunday, April 21st
Congratulations to Nancy Sheppard and Michelle Oberbeek on their baptisms last Sunday. More people are requesting to be baptized, as a result, we are lining up another baptism service on Sunday, April 21st. If you have never followed the Lord in water baptism and would like to, please let me know as soon as possible.
Creative Parking
Just a reminder that we encourage people to park all the way down by the church office. If you are willing to make the walk, we can park eight vehicles in the parking lot next to the church office and many more on the lawn. Each person who parks creatively opens a space in the parking lot for one of our visitors.
Overflow Room
We have a live feed of the service in the Passover Room each Sunday with coffee and treats available for you. Some folks like to go into the back of the sanctuary for worship, then go into the Overflow Room where they can spread out for the teaching. This has really helped us with seating for newcomers on Sundays. It was a blessing to have 20 people worshiping in the Overflow Room this past weekend.
Visitors
If you are blessed by worshiping at Shoreline, please be inviting other people to join you at church. Your excitement is contagious and will help bring others to hear the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Ladies Retreat (Camp Fir Point)
Our “Ladies Retreat” is scheduled for May 3rd – 5th at Camp Fir Point in Glendale, OR. The cost for the event will be $100.00 per person (talk to Stef if financial help is needed). This year’s theme will be, “From the Cord to the Cross” brought to us by special speaker Patty Alexander. Our food this year will be catered by Penny Laine’s Gourmet Secrets. We ask that you sign up in the back of the sanctuary if you are interested in going. (Please put your check/cash in a labeled envelope into the offering box with “Ladies Retreat” written on it.) For more questions, call Stefanie Ahlers at 541-297-2899.
George Gebhardt “Celebration Of Life”
George Gebhardt’s “Celebration Of Life” is scheduled for 11:00am this Saturday at the church. We invite you to join this time as we remember George’s life. Please keep Libby in your prayers as this has been difficult for her.
Point Man Ministries
Calling all veterans! If you are a veteran of the Armed Forces, we encourage you to join “Point Man Ministries” 6:00pm each Tuesday in room 101 at the church.
Church History
I hope you can join me each Friday at 10:00am in the Passover Room as we journey through Church History. This Friday we will be taking a look at “The Puritans In New England.”
Young Adult Bible Study
What a blessing to see 37 people in the Passover Room for our Young Adult Bible Study last night; if we include the children, it was well over 50. I praise the Lord for what He is doing with these young adults 6:30pm every Tuesday as we work through a series on “Systematic Theology.” If you are in the 18-40 range, we invite you to join us.
Have a great week as you walk closely with Jesus. I look forward to seeing you this Sunday!
In Christian Love,
Michael J. Barnard
