Coming Events!

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

Hello everyone,

This weekend I plan to bring the message, “Be Thankful In All Circumstances” from 1 Thessalonians 2:13-20.  Please read the attached “Digging Deeper” Bible study notes before Sunday to get the most out of the message. 

Note: Special thanks to Dale Cooper for filling in for me last Sunday with a very timely message while I was gone, I was blessed by his message.  Dale made a passionate plea for help in ministry, especially in our children’s ministry.  Only one person volunteered.

Sirkka Purkey “Celebration Of Life”

Sirkka’s “Celebration Of Life” will be coming in the later part of January, I’ll let you know more as the time gets closer.

SCC Prayer Requests:

The family of Jeannie Hincke ~ Jeannie went home to be with the Lord yesterday morning, please keep her family in your prayers.  The family will be holding a small private ceremony.

Lon and Pat Kirkendall ~ Please continue to pray for their 17-year-old grandson Riley who is on life support in Portland and his mother Aimee.  Here is the latest:  Day 12 in PICU ~ Pain meds and anxiety meds upped to help Riley stay calm while off paralytic.  We tried a different anxiety med last to help with anxiety but also delirium.  It seems to be working.  Stopped antibiotic and aminophylline.  Still on life support and taking medicine for the mold in his lungs.  He might be on The anti-fungal for months. Life support minimum 1-2 weeks.   Then physical therapy.  They now believe Riley is having an allergic reaction to the aspergillosis and it is NOT growing in his lungs yet. They will keep testing.

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.

Men’s Breakfast

Our next “Men’s Breakfast” is scheduled for 9:00am Saturday, October 5th at Shoreline Community Church.  Men can come expecting a lot of delicious food, great fellowship, and a lively discussion to follow.

Community Gospel Open Mic

Please join us at 3:00pm Sunday afternoon for our next “Community Gospel Open Mic” at Shoreline Community Church.  If you would like to share a Christian song, please contact Tom and Debbie Trammel and let them know ahead of time.

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!

LeAnn Dunlap “Celebration Of Life”

LeAnn’s “Celebration Of Life” is scheduled for 1:00pm Saturday October 12th at Shoreline Community Church.  Please be in prayer for Fred, Steven, and the family!

Good News Club – Fridays at 1:15pm

Shoreline Community Church now hosts a “Good News Club” from 1:15-3:30pm every Friday at the church.  If your children are Kindergarten-through 6th Grade, please bring them to the church.

Pray Oregon Coast

Our next “Pray Oregon Coast” community prayer and worship event is schedule for 6:00pm Friday, October 18th at Shoreline Community Church.  It would be a blessing if we could get a good turnout from the church family for this special event, especially since we will be the host church.

An 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 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,

Church Moves Outdoors On Sunday, July 14th

We will be moving to our outdoor format on Sunday, July 14th as the demolition on the building project picks up pace.  Our goal is to have the new structure adding 122 seats framed in by the end of September so that work can continue throughout the winter until completion.  Thank you for your understanding and support during this time.

Building Project

Our building project is moving forward and the foundation is scheduled to be poured on Monday.  Once the slab is laid, we will be able to finish tearing out the kitchen and moving towards putting up the new frame.  Thank you to everyone who has been volunteering their time and working so hard on this project!!

An Important Update

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

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. 

Annual Church Business Meeting  

Our “Annual Church Business Meeting is scheduled for Sunday, January 28th immediately following the morning service.  On the agenda this year will be: 

  1. An affirmation vote for our 2024 elders and deacons:

Harry Abel                                           Phil Bogs                                 Tony Huber                  

Jim Brown                                           Bryan Davidson                       Les Kaye           

Kip Johnson                                         Ryan Doyle                              Pat Myers 

Bob Pedigo                                          Roger Dunithan                       Bill Steevens 

Tom Trammel                                      Desmond Hangana                 Max Thompson 

Note: This will include two new deacon candidates:  Tony Huber and Ryan Doyle. 

  1. An affirmation vote for the 2024 Church Budget of $396,000.00. 
  1. A presentation and affirmation vote on our proposed expansion of the church Sanctuary.  The proposed expansion would bring us to over 370 seats; we currently have 250. 

Special Need 

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! 

I look forward to seeing you this weekend, what a blessing it is to serve this church family!
