Hello everyone,
This weekend we will celebrate “Mission’s Sunday,” our special guest will be SCC Missionary Sharon Rahilly from C.H.E. (Community Health Evangelism) ministries in Togo, Africa along with several other local missionaries. Sharon leads a very bold ministry that includes two hospitals, mobile units, and a nursing school. Every patient, whether Muslim or not, is given the gospel, this has led to many threats from the Muslim world against the staff. As the area becomes more and more dangerous, it would be a great time to hear Sharon’s testimony. We hope you can join us for this special Sunday, this will be Stefanie Ahlers first Sunday back leading worship.
Note: Next Sunday (March 30th) I will be bringing the message, “Facing Gethsemane” from Luke 22:39-62 as we begin to prepare our hearts for Resurrection Sunday. I’ve attached the “Digging Deeper” Bible study notes for those of you who would like to get a head Start.
Good Friday Service
Our “Good Friday” service is scheduled for 6:00pm Friday, April 18th, we hope you will be able to join us for this solemn time of remembering the original “Black Friday.”
Resurrection Day Service
This year the elders have decided to go with one big service at 10:30am for our Easter Celebration on Sunday, April 20th; we seem to have plenty of seats with the expansion and also have the overflow area in the Passover Room which can hold 30+ more people. Prayer time will be at 8:30am and Sunday School at 9:30am on Resurrection Sunday.
Pray Oregon Coast
Our next community “Pray Oregon Coast” community worship music and prayer time is scheduled for 6:00pm tomorrow (Friday, March 21st) at “The Refuge” in Coos Bay. The Refuge Church is located right next to the Dairy Queen in downtown Coos Bay. Hope you can join us there for this special evening of community worship and prayer.
Jessie Barnard’s Last Sunday at Shoreline
I am sad to say that this Sunday will be Jessie Barnard’s last Sunday with us. Jessie served on staff for 12 years overseeing our Children’s and Student ministries. Jessie has also been a key figure in our worship music ministry, often leading worship; Jessie plays both guitar and drums. Jessie is also a key voice that you hear harmonizing with Stefanie Ahlers each Sunday. During Jessie’s time at Shoreline, she has developed our Middle School and High School Frontline ministries along with Solid Ground and Bullet Proof. Jessie was the key figure in coordinating our team of nine people that developed the Mission 119:11 midweek children’s ministry, that ministry is now in two states. During the past year Jessie has volunteered her time in overseeing Mission 119:11, Frontline, and Solid Ground while working fulltime for Safe Families, Jessie’s unselfishness has saved the church approximately $40,000.00. Jessie is a graduate of Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA and will be greatly missed as she moves to her new position as “Case Manager for the Mobile Crisis Unit of Topeka, Kansas. If you have been blessed by Jessie’s ministry, please be sure to let her know this weekend!
Open Doors And Windows
Since arriving home from the Men’s Retreat on Monday, I have found doors to the church open on three separate occasions and one window wide open after everyone had left. We also had the door by the playground wide open on Saturday night, thankfully I called Bob Pedigo from camp to come in after the alarm went off at 8:00pm to check the building and he discovered it. Please help me to ensure all doors and windows are locked whenever you leave the church, we have a tremendous amount of money in equipment that is at risk besides any damage that might be caused by vandals.
SCC Prayer Request
Kellie Garkow ~ Please continue to pray for Kellie’s nephew Hunter Siedel and his family as he was in a bad car accident in the Redmond area and has been on life support now for over 72 hours.
Have a blessed week in the Lord as you walk closely with Him!
In Christian Love,
Michael J. Barnard
