Important Update!

Posted on by Pastor Mike in Bible, Christ, Church, Pastor's Notes

Hello everyone,

This weekend I plan to bring the message, “Paul’s Dangerous Voyage To Rome” from Acts 27:1-44; communion will follow.  Please read through the attached Digging Deeper Bible study notes before Sunday to get the most out of the message.

Note: If you don’t hear from me as much as usual, please understand that we are very shorthanded right now with lots of events coming up.  Please keep Pastor David in your prayers as he has been out sick for the past week.

Is God still at work in the hearts of His people?  Yes!

Last weekend we were blessed to have Carlos Cante and his daughter Connie (interpreting) share a very good Bible message, then Carlos gave a report on the ministry in Argentina.  I mentioned that only two churches in the United States are supporting them.  At the end of the service, we took a love offering for Carlos’ ministry and praise the Lord, $11,450.00 came in.  On top of the offering to Carlos, our regular offering came in for the church as well, simply amazing.  In my 18 years as Pastor of Shoreline Community Church, I have never seen anything like this.  Thank you to each of you who have given so faithfully and so generously. 

Ladies Night Out

Our next “Ladies Night Out” will be 7:00pm Friday, October 4th at Kaffe’ 101.  Come and enjoy and evening of fun and worship as Stephanie Ahlers and Jessie Barnard lead the time of worship together.

Mission 119:11 – Wednesdays at 6:30pm

Our Mission 119:11 midweek ministry for children began last night and was a big success.  If you have children, grandchildren, or neighborhood children Preschool – 6th Grade who would like to attend, please bring them to Mission 119:11 on Wednesdays from 6:30-8:15pm. 

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

All Church Workday”

Our next “All-Church Workday” is scheduled for the morning of Saturday, October 12th.  We have a lot of cleanups to do and could really use your help.  Thanks!

Backup Church Van Driver Needed

In recent week’s I’ve been sharing how short we are in staffing many of positions at church.  Our regular van driver is unavailable for the next few weeks, and with no one to do it, my wife Cheryl has had to take on that responsibility.  It would be more effective for the church if she were meeting our visitors and ministering to regular attendees.  We are in need of someone under 70 years old (a requirement by our insurance company) with a good drivers license who would be willing to help us with this vital ministry.

Nursery Needs

We are in need of men and women willing to serve in the Nursery once a month on Sunday mornings.  This does not mean that you will miss the service as we have a livestream in the Nursery for you to follow along.  If you can help with this need, please let me know, the Lord is blessing us with many babies, and we have a few more on the way.

Coming To Ezekiel’s Christian Book Store

Ezekiel’s will now be starting a Men’s only Classic Literature Club in October. The class will be going through ancient texts seeking timeless truths that apply to the world that we live in today.  The men will be looking at these classics from a Christian worldview.  Shoreline’s Mikey Turner will be conducting the class.  If you are interested in attending, contact Mikey at 541-294-0978.

I look forward to seeing you this Sunday at Shoreline Community Church.  Please be praying about whom you can invite to church with you.

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?
