An Important update

Hello everyone,

This weekend I plan to bring the message, “A Glorified Body Prepared For Heaven” from 2 Corinthians 5:1-11.  With all that has been going on with our church family lately, I thought this would be a timely and encouraging message.  Please read through the attached “Digging Deeper” Bible study notes before Sunday to get the most out of the message.

Buddy Williams “Celebration Of Life”

Buddy’s “Celebration Of Life” is scheduled for 1:00pm this Saturday at Shoreline Community Church.  Buddy was a paid staff member of Shoreline and has been a critical part of our ministry team over the past decade.  Buddy was a big teddy bear and always had a kind word for everyone.  He was often the first one to arrive at church and the last one to leave , no matter what he was doing.  Buddy brought our music ministry to a new level, and his sudden death has left a huge hole in his family and in our ministry at Shoreline.  Our hearts go out to Buddy’s wife Debbie, his sister Robin, brother Bobby, and father Garry Sr.  I hope you can join us this Saturday as we gather as a family to honor Buddy’s short but full life.

Baptism Service

Our next baptism service is scheduled for the weekend of November 23rd, if you have never followed the Lord in water baptism and would like to, please let me know as soon as possible!

Mission 119:11 Midweek Children’s Ministry

Our “Mission 119:11” midweek children’s ministry is each Wednesday at 6:30pm following the school calendar.  Mission 119:11 is for children preschool through 6th grade.  We hope your children, grandchildren, and neighborhood children can join us for an exciting and fun together. 

Note: Mission 119:11 is a play on words for Psalm 119:11: “Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.” 

Another Disturbing Report

For a third time in recent months, I have received a report that our church family is not friendly to visitors, the individual will not be returning.  Please be looking for people you don’t know and do what you can to help them to feel welcome at church.  As we develop friends, it is easy to get in our clicks and spend our time talking to those people whom we are comfortable with.  The Lord has blessed us at Shoreline with around 400 people in our church family and there is no way I can get around to everyone, I need your help.  Please help me to do church like we used to at Shoreline with everyone being friendly and excited to meet newcomers.  Cheryl and I promise to do our best to make people feel welcome.

SCC Prayer Requests

Dona Pedigo ~ Last Sunday things looked very bleak for Dona following her stroke, but praise the Lord, she has been slowly coming out of it.  Dona is talking and is feisty, that is especially good with the battle she has ahead.  Please continue to be in prayer for Dona in her recovery and for Bob and their daughters as well.

Merlin Edmonston’s parents ~ Please be in prayer for Merlin, Rebecca, and the family. Merlin’s father suffered a brain bleed and his mother was in a car accident going to visit him, she is now also in the hospital, but a different hospital than Merlin’s father.  Please continue to lift up the entire Edmonston family in your prayers.

Ray Hetzler ~ Please pray for Ray’s brother, he was traveling cross country and was hospitalized 358 miles from his home.  Please pray for wisdom for the medical team working on him and also for Ray and the family.

Unspoken Requests ~ We have several people in our congregation who are currently fighting serious illnesses, although I don’t have the freedom to share their names, the Lord knows who they are.   Please keep these dear people in our church family lifted up before the Lord!

Have a blessed week in the Lord as you walk closely with Him. I look forward to seeing you this Sunday morning as we worship the Lord together!

In Christian Love,

Lots Of News To Share!

Hello everyone, 

This Sunday I plan to bring the message, “Reconciliation With God Through Christ” from 2 Corinthians 5:10-21; please read through the attached “Digging Deeper” Bible study notes before Sunday to get the most out of the message.  Special thanks to daughter Jessie for filling in for Stefanie in the leading of our worship music last Sunday and to Mikey Turner for filling in for me with the preaching.  It feels good to be back home in North Bend and away from all of the congestion and lifestyle of the San Francisco Bay Area. 

Note:  I went early to church in Fremont, CA early last week to attend Bible Study, the church was massive and right in the center of about 500,000 people.  I couldn’t find a single Bible study in this huge church (one of the few Christian churches around) on Sunday morning as I walked through the entire structure and when I asked about it, one of the worship leaders said, “Oh, we have no need for Bible Study here.”  Need I say more?  (They do have 4 or 5 Life Groups during the week.)  We are blessed to have 18+ Bible studies each week hereat our little church – Praise The Lord! I hope you are taking advantage of them.

Overflow Room During Church Service 

If the Sanctuary gets too full, we have the Passover Room serving as an overflow room with the large 65” TV broadcasting a livestream of the church service.  Elder Harry Abel said that he will be hosting in the Passover Room.  I encourage people to stand in the back of the Sanctuary if you want to engage with the worship music, then join Harry in the Passover Room for the livestream broadcast of the teaching with coffee and deserts in the overflow room.
