An Important Update!

Hello everyone,

This weekend I plan to bring the message, “Paul Arrested On The Temple Grounds” from Acts 21:26-22:8.  Please read through the attached “Digging Deeper” Bible study notes before Sunday to get the most out of the message.

Change Of Plans – No Outdoor Worship

The elders have decided not to worship outside this summer, our worship services will continue to meet inside the church sanctuary with the possible exception of one Sunday this Summer.  Although there were many reasons for this decision, the primary reason is the construction has left the area much smaller and very dusty.  It only takes the slightest wind to stir up the dust, which would make for an unpleasant experience outside.  Thank you for your understanding!

Baptism Service This Weekend

We’ve had another request for baptism this weekend.  If you have yet to following the Lord Jesus in water baptism and would like to this Sunday, please contact me as soon as possible.

Pray Oregon Coast – Tomorrow

Our next “Pray Oregon Coast” worship and prayer event is scheduled for 6:00pm tomorrow (Friday, July 19th) at “The Family Life Center” at Newmark and Brussells in North Bend.  I hope you can join Pastor David and me there.

The PPC “Walk For Life”

The Pacific Pregnancy Clinic will be holding its annual “Walk For Life Fundraiser” 5:00pm Tuesday, August 6th at Mingus Park.  We hope you can join many of your Shoreline family in attending and supporting this worthy event.

Inviting Your Friend

Just a reminder, the reasons people visit a church are as follows:  A friend invited me – 86%; Organized visitation – 6%; Pastor invite – 6%; Advertising – 2%.  Add the invites from friends and pastors together and that equals 92% of visitors come because somebody invited them.  Please be praying about whom you can invite this weekend.

I look forward to seeing you indoors this Sunday at 10:30am; prayer is at 8:30am in Room 101; and Sunday school is at 9:30am with three adult electives.

In Christian Love,

Important Updates!

Hello everyone,

This weekend I plan to being the message, “A Growing Ministry And An Effective Leadership Team” from Acts 18:18-28; please read through the attached “Digging Deeper” Bible study notes to get the most out of the message.

Baptism

We have one baptism lined up for after the message this weekend.  If you would like to follow the Lord in water baptism and have yet to do it, please let me know as soon as possible.

Now Is A Great Time To Invite Friends

As we approach Resurrection Sunday, now is a great time to begin inviting people to attend church with you.  Family, friends, and acquaintances are much more likely to accept your invitation this time of year, and who knows, God may use you in bringing someone to Christ by doing so.  It was an unwanted invite to Resurrection Sunday that brought me to Christ, so who knows?

Church Phone

Our church phone is down and will probably be down for the next week. If you need to contact the church in the meantime, please contact us by using 541-297-1571.  We are in the process of changing providers.

Ladies’ Night Out

This Friday is “Ladies’ Night Out!” Get ready for a jigsaw puzzle competition! The women will be gathering into teams of four to complete a thousand-piece Jigsaw puzzle. Don’t worry there’s a table created just for leisure too. Be prepared to come with snacks to share and get ready for a fun night of puzzling beginning at six. RSVP: Nikki Greenwell@bigsisrandle@icloud.com.

Men’s Breakfast

Our next Men’s Breakfast is scheduled for 9:00am this Saturday at Shoreline.  Men are invited to join us for some delicious food, great fellowship, and a lively discussion on a spiritual topic that relates to men.

Ladies’ Spring Luncheon

Our “Ladies’ Spring Luncheon” is scheduled for Saturday, March 9th at the church, please put it on your calendar.  Special guest speaker will be Liz Turman.  Alex and Liz attended Shoreline before Alex was called to be the pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church in Coquille. 

SCC Prayer Request:

Juany Rehling ~ Juany sent a prayer request to me from a friend or hers asking for prayer for her 30-year-old daughter Ashley.  “Dialysis last evening a little long. Then last night she couldn’t catch breath so got put on machine and sent ICU. So now in ICU until further treatment.   Am so scared, I can’t lose my baby, I would rather go! God take me not Ashley.”

Kim Collings ~ Please continue to pray for Kim after undergoing major surgery in Texas this week.

I look forward to seeing each of you at one or more of our many activities this weekend.  Then come Sunday expecting a special time of worship music and teaching in the Word!

An Important Update

Hello everyone, 

This weekend I plan to bring the message, “Out Of The Prison Cell And Into True Life” from Acts 16:16-40.  Please read through the attached “Digging Deeper” Bible study notes before Sunday to get the most out of the message.  Special thanks to Dale Cooper for an outstanding message in my absence, what a blessing to leave on vacation and see the church run so smoothly. 

Note: Cheryl and I were supposed to be gone on vacation this week but were caught in icemageddon and didn’t make it to Hawaii. On the way to the airport, we spent the night on Highway 5 stranded in the car in subfreezing temperatures.  We made it no further than Creswell and it took us until Tuesday afternoon before we could finally make it back home. As a result, I ended my vacation early and will be back ministering at the church this week.   

Baptism Service This Sunday 

If you have never followed the Lord in baptism by immersion and would like to, please let me know soon as possible.  We will be doing at least one baptism at the end of the message this weekend.

We are currently in need of individuals willing to be helpers with our Preschool Sunday School class.  If you don’t feel called to be a teacher but wouldn’t mind being a helper once a month, please call me at 541-297-1571.  Thanks, the blessing is our preschool class seems to be getting larger!
