Reminder

Our financial books are open to any member or regular attendee who would like to review them, simply come to my office and request to see them.  The only thing we don’t share is who gives and how much people give, that is between them and the Lord.  Only the bookkeeper and counter know that.  (Not even me.)

I look forward to seeing you this Sunday at 10:30am.  Remember, the church prayer time is at 8:30am, Sunday School with three adult electives is at 9:30am, then our worship service is at 10:30am.  Hope to see you there!

An Important Update!

Hello everyone,

This weekend I plan to bring the message, “Do You Feel Like The Odds Are Stacked Against You?” from Judges 7:1-25.  Please read through the attached “Digging Deeper” Bible study notes before Sunday to get the most out of the message; communion will follow.  Please be praying about whom you can invite to church.

Daylight Savings Time

Please don’t forget that this Sunday we fall back, that means we get an extra hour of sleep.  

Critical Shortage

We are critically short on people willing to work Sundays with our children.  Things are so bad right now that the leaders in two areas of our children’s ministry want to step down because people won’t volunteer, they are totally drained.  As I said on Sunday, “I can’t preach and take care of our Children’s Ministry too.”  Note: I have already had to give up one of my adult classes and take a Director position in Mission 119:11 (our mid-week Children’s Ministry) to help keep the ministry going.  Please pray about what your part might be in reaching out to those who are our most precious possession: our children.  We need your help one Sunday a month.  Note:  85% of the people who are going to come to faith in Christ do so between the ages of 4 & 14.  (Child Evangelism Fellowship statistics)

Ladies Night Out

Our next “Ladies Night Out” is scheduled for 6:00pm Friday, November 1st at Shoreline Community Church.  Ladies can come expecting lots of fun and some great fellowship.

Men’s Breakfast

Our next Men’s Breakfast is 9:00am this Saturday at Shoreline.  Men are invited to come for lots of tasty food, great fellowship, and a lively discussion following.

Gospel Jubilee Open Mic

The “Gospel Jubilee Open Mic” is coming up 3:00pm this Sunday at Shoreline.  We invite you to join Tom and Debbie Trammel along with the gang for a great time of worshiping the Lord.  If you would like to perform a Christian song, please call Tom at 541-521-3330. 

MomCo

Young mothers are invited to attend our next MomCo (or Mom’s Community) meeting at Shoreline 9:30am Tuesday, November 5th (Childcare is available).

Please Vote

I have had the privilege of living in the United States since I was 8 years old, I am a “legal” immigrant.  I don’t know of a more important election in my lifetime than the one that will take place on Tuesday, November 5th.  In the United States we have the privilege of choosing our leaders, we shouldn’t take that lightly as not every country has the opportunity to do so.  Please examine “the platform” of both parties to see how they will vote on the issues and then consider voting for the platform that will best hold up our Judeo-Christian values.  Don’t be sucked into personalities, look at each candidate to see how they will vote.  Note:  Cheryl and I have already voted and we hope you have too.

SCC Prayer Request

Larry Pierce ~ Please continue to pray for Larry following his recent stroke. Larry has lost use of his left arm and left leg, but it appears he is making some progress in regaining their use. Larry is receiving treatment through Riverbend Hospital and is currently in a rehab center in Springfield until a bed in the rehab section of Riverbend Hospital opens.  For at least a few days you can reach Larry at 541-736-2824. 

I look forward to seeing you this Sunday at 10:30am! 

(Remember, Prayer Time is at 8:30am in Room 101; Sunday School is at 9:30am with three adult electives; and as always, church is at 10:30am.)

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.

Mission 119:11 (Midweek Children’s Ministry)

Our next Leadership Training for  Mission 119:11 will be 6:30pm Wednesday, September 25th.  Club will officially begin for the children 6:30pm Wednesday, October 2nd.  

Note: We are still in need of volunteers to help with this vital children’s ministry.  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.”  

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.

Christmas Services

Hello everyone, 

This weekend I plan to bring the message, “The Incarnation” from Isa. 11:1-2/Matt. 1:18-25; please read through the attached “Digging Deeper” Bible study notes before Sunday to get the most out of the message.  We hope you can join us for two very special Christmas services on Sunday morning and then a Christmas Eve Candlelight Communion Sunday night.   

Please, please, please be inviting people to attend the Christmas services with you.  There will be over 500 seats available with the two services, we will also have the overflow room open.  Christmas and Resurrection Sunday are the two days of the year visitors are most likely to attend, so why not reach out and invite someone? 

Here’s how the schedule looks for this Sunday: 

  • 7:30am All Church Prayer Time in room 101 
  • 8:30am First Christmas Service 
  • 10:00am Sunday School Hour 
  • 11:00am Second Christmas Service 
  • 6:00pm Christmas Eve Candlelight Communion 

I look forward to seeing you this Sunday for a very special time of worship together.  Come expecting some incredible music (11 songs at the morning service) and a practical message on “The Incarnation” of Jesus Christ.  Merry Christmas! 

In Christian Love,

An Update

Hi everyone, 

I hope you are enjoying all of the festivities surrounding the Christmas season and using the opportunity to talk about Jesus with others.  This weekend I plan to bring the message, “The Birth Of John The Baptist” from Luke 1:5-25, 57-66.  I hope you can join us for this practical message on trusting God.  Attached you will find your Digging Deeper Bible study notes for this Sunday.  I hope to see you this Sunday at 10:30am! 

Note:  Please be thinking about whom you can invite to church with you during the Christmas season, people are much more likely to accept your invitation.  Several people have shifted to the overflow room during church which has opened up additional seating to invite others. 

Women’s Christmas Party 

Our Women’s Christmas Party is scheduled for 6:00pm tomorrow (Friday) at the home of Harry and Carolyn Abel.  Please bring a side dish for the potluck and a wrapped Christmas ornament to exchange.  If you would like to be part of an additional cookie exchange, please bring three dozen cookies to share, if not, that is perfectly okay.  The Christmas party will be located at 1054 Seagate Ave in Coos Bay. 

Point Man Ministries Christmas Potluck and White Elephant 

The “Point Man Ministries” will be having their first “Christmas Potluck and White Elephant” party starting 4:00pm this Saturday at the church.  If you are a veteran or the spouse of a veteran, we invite you to join us for this special time together. 

Baptism Service

I’ve had three people express interest in following the Lord in baptism by immersion.  If you would like to follow the Lord in water baptism, please let me know, we will be having another baptism service soon.

Ladies Sewing Group 

Our “Ladies Sewing Group” will be meeting from 10:00am-2:00pm on Monday, December 18th at the church.  The ladies hope you can join them for this special time together. 

Jury Duty 

I will be on Jury Duty for the next two weeks starting December 18th.  That means if you try to contact me, I might not be able to respond immediately.   

Shore Acres Hosting 

We are in need of several people to volunteer for hosting at Shoreline Acres on Friday, December 29th from 6:45-9:00pm.  If you are available and would like to help the church as we host, please let me know. 

New Supply Of Shoreline Hats 

The church just received a new supply of 15 Shoreline hats in various designs.  If you are interested in getting one of them, we are asking $15.00 (our cost) for the hats.  The hats are located in the back of the Sanctuary and a great way to promote the church.  Thanks! 

I hope you have a blessed week as you walk closely with Jesus.  Come expecting a very special service this Sunday! 

In Christian Love,
